The Other Side. I get so caught up on what I do not have that I become blind to what I do actually have. I become discontented, envious, and eventually unhappy. I realize that if I looked hard enough, somewhere the grass will always be greener. However, I have also come to see that verdancy cannot cover up for an unmistakable lack of character.
Quite a revealing post, P're. We all succumbed to these negativities at some point. But most importantly, we struggle to free ourselves from their debilitating effects.
ReplyDeleteKeep on persevering, P're. At some point, you'll find a break in the landscape where you can leave your own mark. :)
Thanks, P're. It would've been nice to make the proverbial leap of faith with a safety net, but them's the breaks.
ReplyDeleteIt is through negativity, we appreciate the verdancy.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, pain is a better teacher than joy. Often it is only through loss that we appreciate what we once had.
