Dealing with Success--Not Mine, Of Course
I need to write about dealing with success. Not mine, of course. I haven't had any. But even though I don't think I'm a viciously jealous person, I get stomach cramps every time I find out someone I know has met with unmitigated success. My stomach moans, "Not another one!" I know that "misery loves company," but I'm not really miserable. I would, however, like to think that absolutely wonderful people can be unsuccessful in most of their ventures, as I have been. That would feel like good company. This other doesn't.
