Mr. IMA, every man has to come to grips with his place in the world. Not everyone gets to be President. It's hard for everyone. I suspect most people find fulfillment by providing for their children and finding fulfilling hobbies. I don't have any suggestions because envying other people their money, authority and importance of their work is something I struggle with myself.
You're at home making a difference in your community and improving the lives of the individuals you've hired (until you fire them for being lazy). As long as you can provide for those you care for and you wake up without dreading your day, you're doing alright. Everything on top of that is gravy.

Perception =/= reality. Just because someone looks happy or makes more money doesn't mean their life is better than yours. You could have a small penis, and how sad would that be? Money/power is temporary, small penis is forever.

Wouldn't the kind of guy who knows that perception =/= reality just go and find himself a lady with a tiny vagina?

No truer words have ever been posted.

I don't even think it was about money, heck I don't know what those people made financially, I just felt weird talking to them. Something I haven't felt much in my life I guess. I know there were two kind of people at that party, the people from the city, and those of us from here. I was much more comfortable with those from here I felt like I was being judged less or atleast being judged on who I am and not what I did or was wearing or driving. Now that I'm several days out from that party I'm kind of over it and settled back into be me and I'm pretty happy with it really.

I think sometimes people with giant jobs and houses envy people like me. With a non-important, flexible job/low debt/etc.

Remember this commercial?

Smoke a j about an hour and a half before arriving at any party and you're good to go.

Yes and then spend that hour and a half saying positive affirmations to yourself in the mirror.

That way you're not all obviously high and squinty-eyed when you arrive.

Lol, Geen has performed very intense research in this field. He once tried an hour and forty five minutes and spent the rest of the night envying Anthony Michael Hall.

That 15 minutes was the difference between a sex tape with Anthony Michael Hall and no sex tape with Anthony Michael Hall.
