restless envy wakes

tepid cordiality

green acclimation

ah yes..........
Envy can eat you up. Sometimes the grass isn’t as green as maybe you surmise it to be. A thought provoking little write J.

I think envy at is first strong, but then builds to great heights....almost as if someone is jealous of another who is spoken for... or one can envy someone's intelligence and more....as they say "green with envy"... with intensity .....it is a state of being, but one must adapt to change....(I'm stymied on the title)
a bit tricky J....
Best, B

Best, B
I read recently that jealousy isn't wanting what someone has but wanting them to not have something you don't.

As long as we have green trees and blue water we can survive.. green envy is healthy if we do like-wise. A sparkling Haiku… tenderly, Pat
