Let's say you have a house.


This house is pretty on the outside. It's got perfect, tall French-style windows with a charming red door. It's painted white and it's got the prettiest front lawn. There's an old oak tree with a swing tied to its branch and flowering rose bushes leading up to the door.

It's perfect.

Then one day, there's a drought. The drought lasts for months. Your front lawn slowly starts to die. The rose bushes dry up, and the oak tree starts shedding its leaves.

In desperate times, you try to get some water to save your lawn. It helps for awhile, but then things go downhill again.

To make things worse, your main water pipes burst!

In all your attempts -- calling the City Council to fix it, trying to fix it yourself, etc. None of them work.

Then suddenly, you see a house near yours with a stunningly beautiful lawn. Just like what you used to have.


You envy it. You yearn for it. You want it so bad.

Your jealousy drives you to do stupid things. Like, pee on their rose bush and attempt to break their water pipe as well.

When that doesn't work, you try attacking other lawns. But none of them seem to respond to your evil deeds - no, they continue to thrive regardless.


When questioned, you say you didn't touch their lawn. But you know they know the truth. You know they don't like you anymore.

Maybe it's just time for you to face yourself in the mirror. Realize the mistakes you've made and stop denying the truth. Trying to destruct other people's lawns won't make yours any prettier.
