HEART CRIES 2

Holla everyone!!!! woaaaaa it being a cold Saturday over here but i have something sizzling hot to keep you warm and its on ENVY.

In every environment we find ourselves: offices, markets, neighborhood, churches, mosques, schools etc, people unconsciously exhibit this trait and by the time they realize it, the seed which has being fed fat by anger, jealousy and hatred has become a giant killer.

How do you explain the attitude being displayed by one colleague over another who got promoted to a higher level than them or the unnecessary strife amongst a group of marketers because one of them was able to meet his or her targets as against the other? 

A pastor in his sermon said, envy is the displeasure you feel at the success of another. A quote on line described envy as a feeling of grudging or somewhat admiring discontent aroused by the possessions, achievements or qualities of another.

Charley Reese in analysing envy said it is never wise to seek or wish for another's misfortune. if malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.

So why do we envy?
Some say it is a natural desire we all have while others say it is because of selfishness and the triggering of negative emotions but what do you think is the reason why we envy?

As you ponder on this and drop your comments at the end of this section, i like to quickly give a few hints on how to deal with envy.
1. we must deal with it early before it gets fully blown by deliberately choosing to do the opposite of what envy demands and using a positive thought to fight a negative thought.
2. we should try to accept and celebrate anyone who seems better in any circumstance because you would also be celebrating soonest and ABOVE ALL, let us allow the spirit of God Help you when the feeling of envy is overpowering you.

Oh before i forget, please join me in my hot cup of tea. "shines teeth".
