The stupidity that is inherent in envy and comparisons of lives is the kind that needs exorcism to expel. Given the shoes of the man with the life you want may be all that you need to cure you of your inordinate longing. The saying :the grass is always greener on the other side" means you see only the glamour and not the pain. That's what I call looking with your eyes wide shut.... make good with what you have and be so happy with it turn it to Gold. Have Fun good morning peeps!
