Browsing through photos, previous blog entries, both mine and some random blog from the net, and it makes me realize jealousy is scary...
Quoted from one of the blog
:" i just realised even between good friends, there will still be jealousy.I feel kinda disappointed and helpless at the same time.I dont want any of my good friends to feel inferior or whatever because i still believe we stand out in different ways and we ALL have our own weaknesses and strengths."It will distort the image you have among one another, and you constantly want to be the one who win, the one who is the best. You just can't accept the fact that other's are better than you or other's are getting more than you.
When you can't have what others are having, and you feel that the person is showing off, that' jealousy. If you are not jealous, or you are not comparing yourself to others, where comes the term "showing off" or "hao lian"?
Example: Family A has alot of money and dine at expensive resturants, occasionally treating family B who is their good friends that isnt that well off.. Mummy A Buy branded goods that Mummy B don't even know off or able to afford when they go out together and this causes Mummy B to say this to the daughter when she is home one day...
"That Auntie A like so hao lian hor, know I cannot/won't buy those things,still go out with me and bring me go watch her buy."
So, isn't this caused by jealousy? If both mumies have the abilities to buy the goods, would mummy B still say the same thing to her daughter? I doubt so.
In all, this blog post is not to put people down or bring an arguement. If it offended anyone, I'm sorry andi just want to say, its speaking in general and not specifically on anyone. Just feels that, jealousy really occurs even within the best of friends or relatives.
