I published this story on Facebook as a "Note" on August 22nd, 2.011
On one of those days when you're a little tired up with people and their lack of internally and personally work. Not only with those who conform to being just as they are but with those who not contents with that fact, try to make the others' lives just as empty as theirs.
Because defects there are many and we all have some, but envy ..., envy is a cancer.
Envy, "the cancer" of social relationships. That set of diseases that produces an excess of malignant criticism towards the other person.
With their "metastases," such as the invention and propagation of false events or facts, and their "tumors", such as the subject's internal rage, that by making sure that the other person is "better" than them, ends with him among horrible sufferings.
No cure possible for many dark-hearted subjects.
Possible cure for this terrible disease in other subjects: "Self-esteem."
Author's note: These metaphors and comparisons are all about that, simple metaphors and comparisons. With no intention of offending with this the potential people affected by that real and tremendous disease called "cancer". At no point is it parodying or mocking the disease called "cancer". Even so, apologies are made in advance in case anyone could feel offended. All my respects for the disease and its affected.
