Greeting, women and dudes. You can call me Miracle. I am here in response of something I would like you guys to think about, so let's get started.
Have you ever wondered where envy comes from? The sources can vary, but there is one in specific I want to address. Please keep in mind that this is somewhat opinionated. Feel free to speak for yourself if I misinterpret how you may relate.
I don't know how much you watch/read the news or experience things first hand, but there's a lot going on in the world, the most primary of which being our immediate or near-immediate circumstances. With all these exciting things going on in the world, we typically have the urge to find our place in it. We have this aspiring feeling in our hearts to make our mark.
What do you guys do to achieve that status? For some, it's working out at the gym. For others, it's being a mechanic. The truth is, there are countless possibilities.
Imagine you were to be a professional chef. You love this job, it's what you wanted to be your whole life. You work up your business for a year or so and others love your food, but wait! What's this? A brand new restaurant branching from a famous franchise steps in town and takes 2/3rds of your customers along with it! With profits down, so you decide that the only way to get better business is to move it to a new location with less restaurants. You do so, but only months after, a new restaurant comes in again and does the same to you as last time. Obviously, you know what to expect from there; if you move again, it won't be that long before someone new comes and cramps your style.
We can't hate people for what they do, but how can you fit in when there are so many out there? This doesn't just apply to restaurants. Anything you do can be contended with. Are you truly irreplaceable when what you're best at can and probably always will be surpassed by someone or something else? Some would answer "no" to this, thus comes forth envy and hatred in the depths of their heart.
Despite the dark and personal aura this thread gives off, there is an important disclaimer I would like to point out: I am in no way suffering from a feeling of under-appreciation. As the title states, I was simply bored and wanted to know what you guys would say under the assumption I was (even though I don't expect it to happen). Long story short, I suppose this is a game or test to see what you can do to cheer others up. Have fun, and good luck!
