Quickwrite - Envy

Every one had felt envy before, feeling that the grass on the other side of the fence is greener, or simply saying that feeling that someone else's life is better than what you have. Someone having something that you wanted does not mean that his or her life is better than yours. There might be several ways he or she would have gotten it. He or she might have worked for the money, or accomplished something which made he or her deserves the item. This is similar to the saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover", as in that something might not be what you think when you saw its appearance or before you even know about it. After you get in that person's position, you will understand that it is not as good as you think from the other side of the fence. Someones else might be thinking that your life is better than his or hers, and you might not think so yourself. Assuming things are not always the best thing to do, misunderstandings can happen easily. For example, when I saw my friends buying new things constantly, I envied him a little. But he actually made his own money from working part-time jobs. This shows that never to assume something without making sure what really happened.
