[Margaret Pilkington]

Isn't wishing a 'sort' of envy...you may not express it as envy....and it is more general. By that I mean, you don't direct it at a particular person, but it is still something that you would like to have...that you can see other people have, and perhaps give it very little thought or value.

It is all a matter of semantics.....or splitting hairs.
In the end, what someone else thinks or feels has no bearing on your life, unless of course you give it more credence and more importance than it deserves.

That is why I find this topic from Margaret(who seems totally at ease with her life, and in control of her emotions, psyche...whatever you want to call it) more than a little surprising....interesting too, but definitely surprising.
