Jealous? Of what? I have almost everything I need, and even some things I don’t need.
OK, I don’t have a Learjet, nor a Porsche. But for $2000, I can fly just about anywhere on the planet, and for $700 / mo, I can lease a really nice car. The car I have now is half that price, and is still in the top 20% of my neighborhood. So what do I have to be jealous about?
Kids and wife are better than a joe average like me can ever aspire to, so what should I be jealous about?
Health? General appearance? Clothing? All A-OK.
House? I have more rooms than people, a place to go to in the summer, and the kids are in camp (some working, some still on the payroll)
So what could I possibly be jealous about?
There is one thing. I really wish I could grasp a blatt gemorrah like some of my friends can. And I really wish I had the “zitzfleish” to pack in 2 hours of learing, and wish I could spend another hour, if time permitted.
So I guess I really do envy others!
