Is it human nature to see our own struggles and be jealous of those that don't have those struggles? I think, yes. Have I felt that way myself before? HELL YES!<br /><br />But at the same time, I've learned with age and experience that EVERY SINGLE PERSON has their own struggles or demons, private or otherwise. I have known women who seem to just have it ALL and there was one in particular that I envied a lot. As I got to know her I found out some of the things she had been through during her childhood and I stopped being envious of all she had/all she was that very second, and started admiring her for overcoming it all in such a graceful way. <br /><br />I'm happy for people that have a maid. I want one someday and there's nothing wrong with it whether you have an outside job or not. If you can afford it and it makes your life easier then why the heck NOT!? I'm also happy for people who can afford to put all of their kids in paid sports programs and who have never spent 4 out of 5 weekdays in Dr's offices or hospitals. Sometimes a bonus weekend too! It's not my life...but it'd be cool!<br /><br />I think your friend is just seeing things clouded and in a one-sided way. I do it too, sometimes, but continually try hard to be thankful for the blessing I *do* have and focus on that.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15780571361141805413noreply@blogger.com
