Think of it this way. I'm a writer. I'm 25 years old. I want to be published and have jobs at a publishing company/be a professor. When I see others who are younger than me and are already published/an adjunct, do I mope? Do i hang my head and cry??? POOHEAD's probably younger than me and he has several books published. Instead of being jealous/sad, I like his status and hope he enjoys his success. If you're just constantly jealous/envious of people you have a very rough life ahead of you
