Envy

Never be intimidated by the success or riches of others. Most success is more perceived than real. It does no good to envy the possessions of others. There is a teaching in Buddhism that says, “People are not their stuff.” This means that if you take all your elements, such as your pride, body, friends, money, status, position, job, and anything else you can think of, and remove them from yourself, the real you is left. You are as important as anyone else on the planet. Be your own person, and don’t get caught up in the myth of a get-more-to-be-more society.
