Heard from someone a week back about his fren problem. His wife was comparing him with her fren’s husbands. From car, salary, to how big the rock was. And was so ugly with the words she used. I pity him.
Then it got me thinking, y do everyone like to compare?
Well if u ask me do I compare, hell I would be lying if I say no.
I go to gym and when I see the slim women running alongside me, I compare and I envy her body and I wish I was slimmer.
When I see a women with perfect skin, I compare and I envy and I wish I have skin like dat too.
When during frens/family outing, discussion on salary will always be one of the topic and when I hear younger peeps earning much more I compare and I envy and I wish my salary was higher.
But I think there are 2 types of comparing:
- Comparing=Jealous
- Comparing=Envy
And I think I definitely do not belong to the first. Yes, I envy but I guess some things are 可欲不可求, if I’m not meant to be a tall, slim, pretty, rich lass, I guess I should be contended being a fat, poor and maybe just being cute. Ha ha


可欲不可求
Agreed.
