People tend to use jealousy to reduce other people's motivations to a
single point. It's not something I deal with. I
don't really care if people have more than me. OTHER PEOPLE, on the other hand, care a great deal if others have more than me. They tent to care more about how little I have than I do. I live a humble life. I
don't like spending money. I
don't like needing money but I'm thirsty and hungry and
bored all of the time so I
don't really have a choice. And that's kind of the point of all this. It's the implication that I have something to be jealous about. So and so made a million dollars acting in a movie I consider objectively bad. So and so sang a song that I find annoying and not they are on my phone and in my head. So and so sleeps with all of the woman they interact with. I
don't think these are things to be jealous about but if I am in a disagreement with someone they will weaponize my lack things against me. The world tends to reward competence just as much as is does ineptitude. The inverse can also be true. I
don't care what people have. I just want them to make my life less difficult. I
don't think success justifies itself. I
don't think people deserve the things they have just because they managed to aquire said things in a way that I could not.
