THE LOTUS LANE

When your sibling seems to have everything you wanted, it can feel like proof that life is unfair to you specifically. But the ache of envy is also proof that you know what you want — and that is where you start.

“Envy is the shadow of admiration. If you can see greatness in another, that capacity for seeing greatness lives inside you. The question is only whether you will turn that eye upon yourself.”

- Daisaku Ikeda, Discussions on Youth
