All that to say - you have no idea who you're really envying.

I would be judging these pastors for the amount of skin wife is flashing and low cut dresses on the young girls.

My first assumption is that they have generational wealth and are trust fund kids. My next thought is that they likely have no work ethic, concept of the real world, and likely live in a household where intelligent conversation goes to die. I then think that they're completely vapid and walk away.


Wow, it sounds like you judge people based only on the surface, and very harshly. It makes you sound deeply insecure. People can be any of those things (rich, wealthy, smart, athletic, good-looking) or all of them and be none of the things you described.

I'm overweight, average-looking, middle class, and my house is far from perfect...but I don't need to imagine the worst about others in order to feel good about myself.

They’re yuck and it shows. I see bad taste and poor choice in plastic surgery, no comment on the kids. I cannot imagine envying a purportedly deeply religious person who became “rich” expressly off of her or his religion.

Some people, some families, do have the kinds of lives made possible by wealth, intelligence, good looks and choices. I think that’s good, I don’t know that I envy/feel jealousy. We all have to make it through life in our own heads and bodies and circumstances.

A family having unseen challenges is not the same as “dark secrets”.

More money means your home appears cleaner, even though you are a slob. It hides the mental health problems longer.

I don’t know. I used to work for CPS. I have it easier than some families. Other families have it easier than I do. What can you do but play your best with the hand you were dealt?

The Lentz!!!!

I am totally unaware of them but I can tell you: give it some time. No megachurch people are ok. The kids are innocent and maybe one of the spouses, but not both. I do not wish any harm to this family, but unfortunately the harm is already there.

Everyone's life looks good for a minute at times including mine, so it really doesn't mean much to me.

All that doesn't mean we have it easy. I have some very serious health issues that have involved multiple surgeries. I have zero relationship with either of my parents. Nobody's life is perfect. I just chose to focus on the positive as much as possible.

No. Life throws curve balls at all of us. Envy no one because envy and jealousy are two useless emotions except to harm you.

I don’t know any families like this. I see people putting a lot of effort into projecting an image of perfection on Instagram but I see it as just that; basic people trying really really hard to impress someone somewhere.

If you are jealous it is only because you are projecting what you see as perfection on to people. They are just regular boring people like everyone else.

+1.

I can think of many, many people that I am better off than. It only makes sense that some people have it better than I do.

I wish i had as much money as some to do more in life with the limited time we have on earth. I see families having more fun and going more places and wish I had that.
