Your troubles, and your neighbors

My neighbor says, if you could see everyone's troubles pegged out on a line, you'd always still choose your own.

She is a tireless older lady who cares for her stroke-disabled husband.

Cow is tired of women who envy and form instantaneous judgments of women who might be slimmer, have a better job, or possess some other superficial perceived advantage. People shouldn't judge anyone, and be so hostile and envious, until they truly have walked in someone else's shoes. Nobody can know what people might have gone through to get to where they are. Thinking others have undeserved success, or resenting them because they're pretty, is wrong and evil. Not everyone wants to shout to the world their personal history.

Next time you envy someone based on your perception and judgment that somehow an easy life was handed to them, think. Maybe it wasn't.

Moo!
