Quote of the Day

I was looking across my Twitter feed today and came across this little gem of a quote attributed to Erica Jong:
"Jealousy is all the fun you think they had"
As I think back on my last post on the topic, On Jealousy..., I find that there's likely more than a bit of truth in it for me.

Ultimately, this is not about the specific actions of others, as much as it is getting what I want or what I feel that I deserve (translation: it's all about ME). It isn't that either of these is good or bad, right or wrong. It's also not a justification or a "get out of jail free" card for someone.

It's all just a set up for an unfulfilled expectation.

  2. Heh. Somehow I find that thought comforting.

    Maybe I'm not all that far off of "normal" after all! LOL

    (Yeah, right. Just kidding...)
