beladona Memorial Be warned:in this very rich environment where you can immerse yourself so completely, your emotions will become engaged -- and not everyone is cognizant of that. Among the many excellent features of SL, there is no auto-return on hearts, so be wary of where your's wanders...
One of the most difficult things in life is to learn that even if you are all that and a bag of chips, there is always someone who is "more" than you are, someone who is just:
prettier,
more articulate,
sexier,
more lovable,
more mature,
a better person,
more intelligent,
more understanding,
luckier,
richer,
has higher charisma,
more talented,
etc etc and so forth -- you get the idea! The trick when you meet that person is not to resent them, but to learn to learn from them.
On the whole I do well with not resenting -- I do not wish them to be less, I just wish I was more! Usually I am good about appreciating them and not making them feel angst. I don't do as well with not comparing myself to them and realizing all my shortcomings instead of seeing any strengths.
It is hard to remember when you are washed out by the brilliant moonlight that twinkling starlight also has its place.
