From The One-Minute Writer:
What makes you green with envy?
Honestly, nothing. Sure, I see something someone else has and I might want it -- but I never think of it in terms of "I wish I had that and she didn't". To me, that's what real envy is -- and I don't think it's a very healthy emotion. I could never imagine wishing someone didn't have something so that I could. My mind just doesn't work that way. If someone has something -- by sheer luck or by working hard for it -- more power to them. Why should I be jealous of someone else's good fortune?
In other news. Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm wearing a green sweater and...well, that's about it but Erin Go Bragh anyway.
