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.
