Life is a journey, a voyage, an adventurous trip for many and a race for some. Seeing people enjoying their lives and succeeding in whatever they do is what i love because one way or the other the happiness gets to me. I have never wanted anyone's unhappiness or downfall except maybe while i was in Kindergarten. As many toddler do, i might have been jealous of some kids shoes or snacks fro lunch and wanted it shared or spilled. But the universe forgives the woes of the little ones so i am forgiven of my childhood mischief.
Like the fishes in the deep wide Ocean and like the Birds in the infinite Blue sky; they all feed and live happily ever after without the Dove been jealous of the Sparrow for it's dashing speed or the Robin hating up on the Great Bald Eagle for it's Magnificent size. They all feed and never go hungry, except the ones engineered to hunt the others for food; and nobody could blame them because they obeyed the law of Nature.
You and i should be happy when others are happy, and not be happy when they are sad. Simple because positive energy is contagious and also drives personal growth and success. There is a fundamental power in wishing success for others and not their demise. Something a pack of Wild Dogs knows best than some humans; The Female breast feeds the young ones whether the pups are her own or not and any member of the pack babysits the pups when the others go hunting, the happiness of the pack remains their goal.
Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure that you are not in fact just surrounded with assholes.- William Gibson.
Often times we feel so bad about others around us making it big, but as it occurred to you that probably if you are among motivators and the encouraging ones you could be making it bigger too?
Chances are, if someone is making it more than you do, they might be involved in something so despicable which you ought not feel bad or jealous of, there is a breakthrough in any human's life but not as you or any soothsayer could predict it. So when you wish others succeeding to fail, you are indirectly sanctioning your own epic fall.
Be happy when others are happy, be sad when something bad happens to you but do not dwell on it for long and never let that make you wish others around you fall to never rise again!
