It is a quiet, gnawing sensation that rises within the soul, a bitter longing for what others possess-be it their successes, their possessions, or their effortless ease. It is the restless dissatisfaction that turns inward, whispering that what one has is never enough, and that the joy of another's triumph is a personal wound. This feeling lurks in the shadows of comparison, festering in the mind as it spirals toward self-reproach, casting a pall over contentment. It is a corrosive force that distorts one's view of the world, clouding the perception of one's own worth while elevating the undeserved attributes of others. It feeds on inadequacy, thriving in the hollow spaces where pride once resided, and becomes a vicious cycle, draining joy and replacing it with resentment and longing.
