#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
