“Comparison is the thief of joy,” or so the saying goes (it’s been, it seems, incorrectly attributed to Theodore Roosevelt, Mark Twain, and C. S. Lewis), since some folks can really never enjoy what they have if someone else has “more,” however they choose to define that. But the real issue is when this feeling ends up causing someone to actually take action.
A man shared how a jealous woman got herself in deep trouble after she decided to “secretly” cut down multiple old and very valuable trees on his property. As it turns out, old, very large trees are incredibly valuable, generally irreplaceable and, it should go without saying, destroying your neighbor’s property is a crime.
