I once said something that smacked of envy
To a friend about a friend.
In astonishment, he said,
“I can’t think of a single measure that you’re not winning.”
Since that was true, I had to face
Something more ugly than envy:
I was not envious because I wanted what the friend had.
I was envious because I didn’t want anything good for the friend.
How can anyone think that humans are basically good?
