Jealousy abides in the hearts and minds of those who are supercilious. They can’t help themselves. Their sight is blinded by their obsession that they have to compete by any means possible. Pity the man or woman who can’t dream about their own path but begrudgingly compete to keep up with their imaginary competitors. Exceptionalism is an acquired state of being, not by birthright but through dedication and commitment.
