Colossal envy and anger. Coming across people who have it better than me can ruin my entire day. Silly, I know.
Yeah, this is very good food for thought.The Buddha taught that existence is suffering. Remember, the Buddha was once a wealthy prince who had all the things you mention. It brought him no happiness when he saw how everyone suffers and dies.
Someone becoming bitter, angry, and/or envious because they were starved their whole life-of things that other people were served on a silver platter-does not mean their empathy or compassion would be lower than the person they feel a certain way towards, whether the person directly harmed them or not.You wouldn't know because you would be too busy enjoying life.
If - as you are saying yourself - feel bitter angry and envious towards people that never harmed you, I am pretty sure your empathy and compassion would be even lower than those who you accuse of.
I am fine and feel good for them. At least some are enjoying life. Yes life is unfair. We know that. We are not 8 years old. Others' happiness is not the cause of my misery.
