Dealing

איזה הוא עשיר המשמח בחלקו

Perhaps the best way to start dealing with this jealousy is to consider the fact that the other people do have things or benefits or social lives or any other characteristic which we do not have but this does not mean that they are more lucky or better or more deserving or more righteous. It may mean, however, that they have worked harder in order to achieve a certain benefit. This may be in the case of a person who has a certain disability and is able to by sheer determination overcome this disability to some degree. A LINK TO THE ARTICLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

Thus, the first stage in happiness is not to consider your happiness in relation to others. It is not going to be beneficial to discuss your rights in relation to others, your value in relation to others, your money in relation to others, your happiness or joy in relation to others, or any other characteristic. How much others have should not make you more or less happy. What should be important to you is how much you have, how successful you are, and how much you are able to maximize your own potential. If you do this then you will reach top of your abilities.
