You never see the hard days in a photo album...but those are the ones that get you from one happy snapshot to the next.

A very warm welcome to my thoughts and opinions. These lyrics from Megadeth's Peace Sells resonate with me. What do you mean, "I can't get to work on time"? I got nothing better to do And, what do you mean, "I don't pay my bills"? Why do you think I'm broke? Huh? What do you mean, "I hurt your feelings"? I didn't know you had any feelings. What do you mean, "I ain't kind"? I'm just not your kind.

I have a penchant for sweet delights be it chocolate lava cakes or eye candy in my favorite tv show. I adore being a couch potato and my recent addiction is NCIS and The Big Bang Theory.

Never particularly knew the difference between

envy and jealousy.

ENVY:
-A feeling of grudging admiration and desire to have something possessed by another
-Spite and resentment at seeing the success of another (personified as one of the deadly sins)

JEALOUSY:
-Showing extreme cupidity; painfully desirous of another's advantages
-Suspicious or unduly suspicious or fearful of being displaced by a rival

Hmmm this idea of jealousy or envy its actually very dangerous. Seen it many times in various crimes, in television shows and well in reality. It's a scary emotion isn't it?

The Chinese show at 9pm "room in my heart", yea Fiona Xie doesn't look so damn bimbotic with her new hairstyle. But anyway I digress. How these two people were in my mind "unduly suspicious of being displaced by a rival". Cos of this emotion caused them to do stuff which ultimately hurt someone they really loved. I think jealousy/ envy if ur not careful can really ruin ur rationality n eventually coz a major upset in ur life.

Even in reality people are envious of each other. To one it may be nothing, to another it might be seen as a form of "success" and they start feeling spite and resentment. Once they feel that, no amount of telling them otherwise will change their minds. N all these schemes of how to hurt another person start to be concocted in their mind. Its scary. Cos perhaps sometimes the person who they feel envious of doesn't even realize it, n den suddenly finds that innocent person ends up being hurt / betrayed / played out by people they thought they could trust. Sigh.

No wonder envy is one of the seven sins. But I admit in today's world it's hard to be completely voice of some form of jealousy and envy, but let us not act upon such feelings. Emotions which could potentially hurt another person, for no other reason den ur own inability to accept that not everyone in this world was born equal, neither will we be given equal opportunities. Dats life for u. totally and completely unfair.
