Envy

A green monster creeps into thoughts as attention is focused on another’s achievement or possession. It stomps in loud and uproarious boasting of what is had. It stands tall on its hind legs looking intimidating as it shouts out ‘I am better than you’ and self perceives attack. How to fight a monster so much bigger than self?

Thoughts and feelings power to full throttle as self detaches from other’s seeming successes. Attention shifts back to self’s path and life. self’s path is good too, just different. Green monster has nothing on self with inner independence. This is what binds Self and self together.
