[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The house she has is part of the package that represents the totality of her existence. Would you like to have every single experience, asset, attribute, flaw, etc. that she has had? Thinking about such things in this way always helps me deal with envy.[/quote]

eh I see this type of advice on here a lot and I don't like it. I think the problem with it is that it implies that people with more money can't be happy, kind, in love, fulfilled, problem free, etc. They can be all of those things. Sometimes people with more money just have better lives in every respect. That's ok. That's life.[/quote]

Poor or rich or somewhere in between- the reality is no one has a life with no problems. It's the extent and types of problems that vary and yes, some people will have more problems in totality than others. Some people have more financial problems. Others have more family problems. Others suffer personal anxiety, loneliness, depression, health-related problems. Some have marriage problems. Some have problems related to friendships, etc. Regardless, people will always show their best parts to the world. The only thing that most of your friends/acquaintances will see are those good parts. I don't know a single person with a life that is problem-free at least at some point in their adult life, and anyone tells you that they are lying or lying to themselves. [/quote]
