One of the seven deadly sins is envy, not jealousy, but close enough(Envy: painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage Merriam Webster). The two cross over in my mind, and lay on top of each other, like dead, smelly fish. I am burdened, a lot, by the combo. I'm jealous of people I know, people I've never seen, dead people from history. I'm envious of friends and family members, even people that I feel sorry for. The duo sit on my shoulder and whisper mean crappy things in my ear, mostly about how worthless I am. To make myself feel better, I like to watch one of my dogs stack all the dog pillows on top of each other and then lay on them so that the other dog can't use them. It turns out it's not just me after all.
This is one of my favorites of yours
