How we envy.

Those people who lead glamorous lifestyles, or those people who are kick ass famous and have hordes of admirers or whatnot watching them with every waking hour (or sleeping, for that matter) of their days.
We have no idea how lucky we are.
I can't help but to pity those people who, in our books, are "ever so lucky to be so popular/famous/well-known et cetera et cetera. I just read someone's blog, and he recently wrote about how "famous(?)" he's become, and how it's getting to him. I totally agree.
Imagine having people scrutinizing your every move, one wrong remark and you would've shot yourself in the foot, because ultimately, it's how these people perceive you to be. If these perceptions didn't exist, i.e. you weren't so well-known in the first place, there wouldn't be perceptions in the first place to turn ugly. I don't think ya'll get me, but whatever.
So the next time you start to feel envious of people who are popular, well-known, even respected, think about this.
