The True Feeling of Jealousy

Recently a new post about Beyonce and Jay Z states that the couple might outbid a Beverly hill mansion for $70 million. Now lets be honest, this is not the first time we have heard of something like this. It seems like there's a new blog or article in a magazine about how "a new celebrity bought a $200,000 car" or "a new celeb couple gets buys a new mansion worth 3 peoples lives put together" or "celeb spotted on  private Island claiming to be on vacation". While these posts do tend to feed the general populations mind and draw the interest of many, we can't go un-noticing that part of that is based on jealousy. We have to admit (or at least I do) that we're amazed by the luxury lives more "popular and higher up" people live. Come on, admit it, you have scrolled through such posts before and thought at least once "I wish" or "If only". The truth is though is (while it looks like it on the outside) money truly does not by the happiness of others.

Too many times I've read articles about how so and so committed suicide, overdosed, or is struggling through something based on being alone or having no one to talk to. I challenge you to take one week from keeping all of your secrets you know to yourself and not talking to anyone about how you feel about anything and see if you can make it. I doubt you will. We don't realize how much interaction we have in a day with others, and I'm sure half of the problems of these celebs is based on the fact that they are cooped up in a studio or too busy impressing the public to focus on themselves and what they really need. Sure they look like they live perfect lives, but pictures can be very deceiving. Don't believe me? Plenty have spoke out about it. Take drake for example, he raps about it in his song Language for just one of the many examples that are out there. Too often we are so focused on the brightness the lime light brings that we let articles such as these go unseen or unspoken of. Don't get me wrong I also have a problem with  looking at new mansions or cars or vacations celebs go on and not being jealous, But just ask yourself next time, now that you have the real facts. Would it really be worth it? Are you really Jealous of the person, or just of the beauty of the glorious picture in front of you that middle class people like us dream about?
