The world is a show and the show is a performance of the wealthy, the beautiful and the fortunate. The invulnerable, the matchless and the exclusive live a life like dazzling fish in a scintillating seascape behind glass. Everybody may admire them, but nobody can touch them. ( “Keeping up with the Joneses” ) Erik Pevernagie
About This Quote

It is so easy to envy those who have the things we wish we had. It is easy to be jealous of those who have a better life than us. It’s so easy to be envious of the rich, the beautiful and the fortunate. However, it is a lot harder to actually achieve these things that we desire.

The world is a show and the show is a performance of the wealthy, the beautiful and the fortunate. What you see on these people’s faces comes from what they feel deep down inside, not from what they want you to see. In other words, these people are putting on a façade for us.

The truth is that they are happy and valued by those around them. The true meaning of life lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
