One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others...

When younger I could get extremely jealous but over the years I've learnt that it like hate is a wasted emotion! I can't begrudge any-one their good fortune now and as long as people are happy, I'm happy for them! I've learnt too that what I once envied I would now hate! For example I used to envy the rich and famous, but not any more, I'd love to be rich (who would'nt) or at least a lot better off but Fame no thanks! That I'd hate! At least no-one cares if I look ancient without make-up!

I am able to be happy for other people, but I must admit that there are certain circumstances that make me feel very jealous and want what they have for myself...(NOT talking about materially, btw)

I am most happy when I see someone happy; whetever it is that makes the person happy. I am not jealous! I celebrate with them! Jealousy leads us nowhere, everyone knows that! LOL

I love to see other people happy, I love to make other people happy if possible, by doing that it takes your mind off any problems that you may have

jealousy is something i've never felt much of i guess, and am so glad of it. Yes, i have always been able to be happy for others, yet i often feel i haven't done so well for myself, that i think is weird, because isn't that where jealousy is suppose to come from?

Most of the time I am happy for others.
Because when they are happy I am happy.
It is contagious, you know!
