#dealingWithEnvy #envy #suffering #compassion #mindfulness #meditation #zenwords #zenmister I used to feel envy much stronger, because I used to imagine that I would be happier if my circumstances resembled those of the people I envied. I thought that they were somehow better at life than I was. As I grew, I learned that people’s lives are complex, and people suffer through all kinds of fortunate circumstances as I suffered through my fortunate circumstances. When I look at how other people suffer, I don’t feel envy, I feel compassion. — zenmister

Take a breath, feel the sting of envy, and remember that you are on the right path, beginning again where you are. When you notice envy arising, make a special effort to practice kindness and compassion for yourself and others. Then help others if you notice that they envy you.

In this powerful video, the reflection is on the struggles of being targeted and misunderstood due to jealousy, envy, and greed, drawing parallels between personal experiences and the life of Jesus Christ. It discusses how people often go after individuals who are doing good, offering no harm, but instead living with integrity and purpose. The video highlights the biblical story of Jesus' crucifixion as an example of how the world can be filled with those who prefer falsehoods and drama over truth and righteousness.
