I think many times when we choose friends, we choose people with similar financial capabilities and aesthetic styles to ourselves. Because people like this belong to people who are in the same circle as you, then if we get along with people in the same circle as ourselves, it will be easier and happier. Because there is no need for both parties to worry about whether we became friends because you took advantage of me, or if I took advantage of you. If two people are of the same level, these problems won't exist, and the friendship will last longer.
Then it is definitely not said that all people’s good friends are equal in strength to oneself. After all, there will be some differences between some people. Maybe what your friend already has is what you have been working hard for and what you have always dreamed of. Then you will definitely be very envious of him first. After all, this is your ideal, your goal. When you see his life, it seems that you have seen your life after success, which is also an encouragement to you.
But I think there is nothing wrong with envy. If it is jealousy and later turns to hate, it is a distorted view of friendship. After all, it is other people's ability to live better than you. He didn't hurt you or belittle you. He just had what you wanted. There was nothing wrong with him. Why should you be jealous of him and why should you hate him?
If so, wouldn’t he be innocent? Some things are predestined in life and are not something we can choose. And you have to have friends around you who are worse off than you to be happy?
If you have a friend who is living a better life, it is actually a good thing for you. She is living a good life, and you can also benefit from it. Because it can help you in certain aspects, you are in a state of perfect progress. If he is good, you will slowly get better. This is like what many people say about why you should make friends with good people, because if you make friends with good people, you will become better and better.
