More From David Hume

The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. the class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. the ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas.

There are times in my life when i let myself get consumed with jealously for someone else's life, their body, their wardrobe, their talent. they call it the green-eyed monster for a reason. it's a self destructive and when it's in the room, it consumes you. be strong and don't focus on what other people have.
