It Has Always Been In You

So I seem to be stuck on the subject of envy because I feel that it fuels much of the dissent and ill-will in our relationships.  What we can not avoid is that we have been groomed into our beliefs and understandings in terms of relating to people, which is also reinforced with every mainstream movie, reality show and song. 

We are essentially taught to sit back and watch a select few live a grandiose life, while we sit back and "ooh' and "aah", wishing we too could have the same opportunities. More harmful than the doe eyes is our gross consumption of these "stars" and their lives. We want to watch them, listen to them, buy what they buy (which we cannot afford), eat what they endorse (because they don't really eat that), and be what they are without the intense work and efforts they put it. What we see in others as enlightening we could also see in ourselves. It takes movement, prioritizing, praying, loving and reciprocation.

Imagine mastering the art of the reciprocal relationship, where you can find any resource you need by building appropriate, healthy relationships with people from the start, and when you are in need of something you receive it without hesitation and often without asking. People will literally come to you offering!

You have this in you, you really do. We were born perfect, and this world gradually corrupts us, but we must make the cognizant choice to resist what we know is not of benefit to us, and seek what we know is.
