Necklace Quickwrite

   Amusement, envy, and jealousy are all feelings you develop when you see someone with better things and lives than you. Everyone can experience that, it may not have to be money, it could be simply the happiness that you never receive, it could be the love of a wife, or it could simply be about money. While people are busy watching other people's lives thrive with joy, people always forget what they have, and what people would be envy of. For a rich guy, he may have spent all of his life on his career that he does not have any family. He is rich, but there are just things you cannot purchase with money. For a poor guy, he has a gorgeous wife, but he may envy the amount of cash and bank the rich guy has. For a couple, they could be jealous of other couples who have kids and are all dipped in joy. But all of these people, they do not look at what they have, instead of looking at how great their lives are already, they are busy envying other people's lives and resources. They do not realize what they have accomplished with theirs but instead look at other people's and think, "What if i had a life like that". For me, i have of course envied other people's lives. If i see a person with really good grades, i may envy that. If i see a person with extraordinary skateboarding skills, i would be jealous of that. The difference from me and other people are that, after a while of thinking and admiring other people's lives, i always come back and think about my own. Which at the end, ill think is still the best and would never ever trade in for other people's. I do not need to be Bill Gates to be happy, i do not need to own the Disney World to be happy. I believe i am living a fruitful and delightful life, i do not need other people's skills and money to make my life better. My life is  pleasant the way it is. I love my life.
