How Can A Person Truly Celebrate Their Own Success,

"How Can A Person Truly Celebrate Their Own Success,
When Others Cannot Celebrate Theirs?"

I was just watching "I Believe" from the movie Honey.

Jessica Alba is gorgeous, but watching the montage of videos celebrating her progressive successes in the movie is bittersweet for me.

I think that anyone who is enjoying true success in their life cannot be wholly delighting in it,
because there is too much unhappiness around them for it all to be completely ignored.

Rather, the small number of people who are enjoying success in their life, have to block out the scores of people who are not truly delighting in existence.

Now, if one were to accuse me of allowing bitterness and jealousy to color my tongue here, they would not be inaccurate.

But...if I were enjoying a life of beautiful successes, I could not be blind to the fact that so many people were not enjoying the same, and how else could they feel but jealous and wishing they too could enjoy such a good life.

I believe all human beings have the fundamental sense,
"We Are All Equal."
So when others have more,
are enjoying life more,
how can one feel aught but envious.

Come on?
I cannot see how this can aught but be true.

...except...when someone already is enjoying success in their life.
only then can someone be truly happy for the success of someone else.
