Envy over Love?
Why do we always choose the first?
To envy even our closest family and friends
To find fault rather than appreciate them
To resist their help, to instantly think pf a bad intention rather than the good one
Why there can't just be love?

I find it hard to believe that families and friendships often fails because of ENVY. Let's see these scenarios:
Toni told his friends that he's starting a new business and asked them to follow his page and support his products. Some would show support but others would say, are you sure about that? They would ask where's my free sample or would just buy these same products in other online shops. To someone they don't even know.
Lina's children decided to have their house fully renovated as a gift to her. The house was quite bigger than her aunt's house. Her aunt would not even say, wow that's great; your sacrifices were paying off rather she said, where did you get the money? (Ouch!)
My daughter is the class valedictorian!, a proud mom says to her relatives. Someone joked, oh because you have been generously donating! Other one said, because you're best friends with her teacher!
Bea had been a hard time navigating her car to their house because the entry way was too rocky and a bit steep. It was a whole compound's entry way just that it so happen that it's part of their property. When she already had a budget, she decided to have it fixed and cemented. Leaving a small portion untouched since she's afraid her grandma would have another plan. But it seems that they took it differently, since then, her grandma and her son would walk on that small portion unfixed and not cemented. Funny may it seem but they do not even allow tricycles to bring them down even if their loads are many and heavy unlike when the pathway was still raw and untouched.
Michael proudly announced that his son was promoted as a captain in the air force. Instead of congratulating, his aunt said, my son was promoted as a chairman but I did not make such an announcement. (Whew!)
Oh look Lola, these are my paintings. Would you buy one? No, they are not attractive, my little Jam does better. (Too cruel!)
Why can't they just be happy and be kind if someone succeeds or achieving. Why can't they just be appreciative, considerate and sensitive of their words rather than be cruel and sarcastic. It's really sad and disgusting to see and know people who thinks like this. How it can be easy for them to hurt someone's feelings.
Envy can be lethal if not controlled. But with LOVE everything will turn brightly, colorful and cheerful. That with LOVE you will have peace, happy and long life.
So my friend, what will you choose?
