Who can say if life is better, than mine, or my daughter’s or my granddaughter’s? Envy may play a part, jealousy over intelligence, beauty, health, even politics in 2026, comes into thinking that they are better than you, their life is easier, or richer. Not monetarily rich, but life in general. Is it circumstance or effort? Why not let them live their life and look in the mirror. Have you done everything you can to make your own life better, in the senses of what you consider better? Someone you think is living better in some way may have a debilitating illness that doesn’t show, or a problem they can’t share with you. The old saying “behind closed doors” is true enough in this aspect. Might “no time can be easy if one is living through it” mean you probably have no idea what a person’s life is really like, and should you explore that with them or keep your thoughts to yourself?
