What about Bob?

My friend just said that we are all jealous of someone. I am not. I truly mean that. I know, it seems stupid to say, beacuse it is such a basic emotion. That's not to say I don't get possessive. I think that is different. My wife went on a date while we were separated, and it drove me insane for about a week (Im still dealing with it). But I wasn't jealous of the other guy, my emotions stemmed from the feeling of disrespect I was experiencing. Not to mention, her total lack of guilt over it, as if she was entitled. I have come to grips, but I don't think those feeling could be described as jealousy. Jealousy is being envious of another person when they have something you do not. My friend was joking about being jealous of Brad Pitt. Why would I be jealous? He has things I dont have, like fame, money, better looks. But why would that bother me? I bet a dollar to a donut I'd crush him at Jeopardy, and he couldn't touch my curveball. It's all relative. Besides, I believe that I am talented enough to accomplish anything I want (within reason) and to obtain most anything. If I don't accomplish those goals, I have only myself to blame. If someone works harder than me, and gets something I wanted, why be jealous? They got it, fair and square. And what about people who get things handed to them, you might ask. Well, I may openly hate them, but I am not jealous. Truth is, I wouldnt want to trade places with sum spoiled trust fund baby. That isnt the real world, and the negatives will far outweigh the few positives in the end. I am happy with me, and my life. It's no day at the beach, and Im not exactly pushing Donald Trump off of the 50 wealthiest people list...but who cares. We are all human beings, and it is simply idiotic to idolize or be envious of others. Case in point. I heard a radio clip of when Nancy Reagan was getting on a plane, and an onlooked shouted "God bless you Nancy!" That's a nice sentiment, but why bless her any more than the rest of us? Why is her pain more important? The world is full of mediocre morons worshipping other human beings! It is ludicrous! It is one thing to appreciate the accomplishments of others, or to aspire to another person's status, but to openly respect people that you don't even know? That is just pathetic. I could go on, but I won't. You get the gist....
