Why envy our peer?

Envy or jealousy is a feeling that we may not want to express. However, we may express it without noticing it in the form of criticisms or allegations, making us look bad before the success of others. 

One interesting thing is that we tend to be jealous about the success of our peers but not our seniors or juniors who have far different starting points or grew up in different environments. In other words, we know deep in our hearts that we could have enjoyed the same success as our friends if we had better chances or worked harder. 

So how can we help ourselves feel comfortable before the success of others? First of all, There is no need to compare our own achievements with that of others as we all have different vocations from God.

And if we think we can have our own achievements, why not set an acceptable goal and work hard for it today? 

Let’s give sincere congratulations for people who have their blessings, as our lives can also be improved with our own efforts in our own ways.
