and the big one for today is

ENVY!

These attitudes are harmful to the person who has them.
Is there a remedy for envy? I generally have two things I think of regarding envy.

First
If I really look at the total person I envy, don't I see plenty to not envy!
Would I change places with that person?

Second
There is unity and spiritual unity
If we are one then I am really only envying myself. That is silly.

And there is more.
I really have enough. I really have more than enough. So why should I envy someone just because they have more than I do?

One more
Just selfishness,it is selfish to envy, and selfishness doesn't work. We are happy when we stop being selfish, when we love and appreciate the wonderful world we have from one moment to the next
