Envy vs. Jealousy

i'm sure u have heard of the old saying, where a friend will stick to you, whether u're happy or sad.it was believed that a true friend will never turn her back away, especially when u're facing ur darkest moment.

for the past few years, i gain friendships, i lose friendships...i experienced friendship..then i realised that such saying is not that accurate.i mean,i've no problems sticking to my friends, even when they are facing problems in their life.i tried my very best to be there for them...

but, there were some times where my friend achieved greatness; and..i mean, im very happy for him/her...yet i find it so hard to be 100% happy for them.a small devilish side of me; felt a twinge of jealousy. or i'm just feeling envious towards them?i know the moment i fall into jealousy; im definitely not being a true friend anymore. yet the distinction between jealousy and envy is so fine, when will i know which i fall into?

does that make me a bad friend?perhaps i'm a terrible friend.and i'll never ever be someone's true friend...until i get over this problem.

lolz...i dun think any1 in this world will get over wif it...if some1 do..means he or she din have enuf motivition...i mean look at the bright side of envy and jealousy,u can use it as motivation to strive and to be more sucessful,rite?as for the frens part...is no matter good or bad we accept them as who they are as they are the person tat are close to us and support us when we needed it..

there no such thing as perfect or true frens,as it doesn't exist,juz a mirage,as no1 is perfect in this worlds...lolz..im getting old ady..typing so much stuff here..wakaka

dear,somehow i would have such feeling,like how u used to have it too,and i used to ask myself whether i am jealous or envy over anything.

I think everyone will have this kind of feeling,the inner side of themselves,and it's not shown on their face.It depends on HOW we convert our jealousy/envy into motivation to push ourselves forward to achieve our goal,instead of being jealous by doing nothing.Right?
