Eastern Wisdom: Don't envy others' advantages; overlook your own excellence.

Once upon a time, there were two tigers. In their youth, they had similar living conditions and physical sizes. However, as they grew older, one with a violent temperament was confined to a cage, while the other, more gentle one, was released into the wilderness.

They both envied each other's situations and decided to exchange places. At first, they were both content—the fierce tiger gained freedom, and the gentle one found safety. But before long, both tigers died: one from hunger and the other from depression.

Reflection: Humans are similar in this regard. Each person's life is unique, with some enjoying abundance while others face adversity. Destiny varies for everyone, and it cannot be forced. Regardless of the hand we're dealt by fate, we should give our all.

Don't envy those who seem to have better circumstances, and don't disdain those who seem worse off. In this journey of life, focus on your own path. The source of human suffering often lies in wanting too much.

Don't constantly magnify others' happiness or amplify your own suffering—happiness has no universal formula. Don't measure your path with someone else's ruler. When you envy others' smooth and broad roads, they might just be coveting the beauty and wonders along your own path.

Don't overlook your own happiness. In any circumstance, those who understand contentment and cherish their blessings are the ones who find good fortune.

As Ma De once said: "A person often looks up to and envies others' happiness, but when they turn around, they realize that they themselves are being looked up to and envied by others."
