The Things You Shouldn't Be Jealous Of In Life

Some of us are born with the silver spoon some of us with tinfoil spoons, some of us are lucky to know what a spoon is and some of us just use a fork...even so, there are certain things we should just never be jealous of..we are all individuals, so we need not look at anyone else with envy.

1. Someone's wealth

You will just become a bitter Bernard and you are more than likely not part of the 1%...yeah that's a thing now... some people are just born with the silver spoon rammed up their hole...don't get jealous, go out and work hard and earn your own silver spoon.

2. What someone else looks like

Everybody's beautiful, so what if someone has enough money to get 400 tit jobs, take solice in knowing that people like Gary Busey or Meg Ryan can be famous with their looks. The good thing about life is that everyone is individual and different people are needed for different things..some are even needed to be shallow and superficial. In this the day of fake tan and make up you should never feel bad about how you look...and that just the guys!

3. Who someone else is dating

You will be able to find someone equally as cool if not better. There's nearly 7 billion people on the planet. You could probably, at a stretch, even find 2. Your jealousy could also be premature as the person your jealous of could soon turn bald and stuff...ok that's a bad example because William will be King one day...

4. Someone else’s triumphs

Family and friends aside, because we all want to celebrate with those close to us sometimes we just can't win. There are certain areas that we will excel and there are other areas where other will be better. Suck it up and take it that other people are just better. Except illiterate reality TV stars who sign 7 figure book deals and get loads of money...you have my permission to hate these people....but no jealousy OK.

5. Someone else's happiness

Behind the public persona there is probably a hyper depressed background story..or at least that's what I tell myself. But even if their isn't, so what. Generally these days a lot of someone's happiness is seen on Facebook and what they choose to publicly display, hashtag this, love life that, YOLO something else...it gets even worse when you know that these people are usually the ones who will be the first to say how much they hate something and what they portray on social media is completely over the top and not true. #fakes
