Envy, Scarcity & Grateful

One of the characteristic of human being is envy/jealous, sometime we can’t stand to feel envy at other people when they are more successful, happier, richer and other thing that people are more than us. One of the ways to control our envious by just to feel grateful with what we have. I know sometimes it good to be envy with study or other good thing, so we will become more successful, but we don’t have to feel envy because it only will hurt our feeling. We could feel happy for our friend and wish to be like them, so when our day has come we also can be happy and everyone around us will also be happy, nice right…  

“What we want sometimes other people don’t want it, what we don’t want sometimes other people want it”

In economic I learn scarcity (limited) there is no such thing of free lunch, because to have free lunch we have to forgone something else like, labor energy, resource and other. So to have something we always need to forgone something…

Maybe we don’t realize, what we have not everyone have it and what people have maybe we don’t have it, it is fair situation. We could have what people have also but we have to forgone something else because we could not have everything, so we need to decide to have what we have now or maybe forgone to have something else…

If we wished to be rich, maybe we have to forgone lot of our time to find money. If we wished to be more brilliant we need to study more and play less. If we wished to be gorgeous/popular/happier, we also need to lose something. Even to have love, sometimes we need to sacrifice something.

Sometimes it just good enough to be grateful with what we have maybe not really make us completely happy enough but it still just good enough, there are lot of out there wish to have what we have now. But if we still not satisfy we can change the way we are but don’t regret later…

Just feel happy what we have, to have more just like bonus to us, it doesn’t matter if we couldn’t have it more

It just good to be moderate not so many but not so little, with that we don’t need to feel envy so much. Having more of something sometimes we need to forgone lot of other thing more. There is the time to feel envy or grateful depend with what kind of situation we're having but I think it would feel good to be just grateful, why we need to hurt our heart with feeling envy with other…

It better to have something than have nothing at all

Just remember that there are lot of people is more misery than we are
