About This Quote
Jealousy, and attempting to match others in life and stride, is self-abandonment. This quote highlights the fact that jealousy is not only a waste of time, but also an act of self-abandonment. If you are jealous of someone else’s success, that means you are unhappy with your own accomplishments. You want to be ahead, but your jealousy causes you to fall even further behind.
When you feel envy, it is a clear sign that something is wrong with your life. You should look within yourself and try to correct whatever has caused you to feel those negative emotions.
