Here's a practice for dealing with envy. . . each time you find yourself envious of someone. . . ask yourself, "What is there that I am noticing in the other person that I want to find in myself?". . . If it's money, is it the freedom? The cance to play that money buys? A sense of security? Whatever it is-more play, a sense of security, free time-you can work on getting more of it in your life, no matter what the circumstances.
To a book collector, you see, the true freedom of all books is somewhere on his shelves.
