Subject: Re: Dealraker made a point worth contemplating: "
I also like Charlies other ref to Envy...

'What good is envy? It's the one sin you can't have any fun at.'
' Charlie Munger

This also got a chuckle from the site you referenced Tex,

"As said before, we compare relatively, most with those we know really good or with whom we have a similar starting point. But what is frightening, when we are envious, we not only feel bad, we make often poor and unreasonable decisions. Consider this Russian proverb, paraphrased by Peter Bevelin:"


'There is an old Russian story where a farmer finds a magic lamp. He rubs it, and a genie appears who promises to grant him one wish. The farmer thinks for a moment then says: 'My neighbor has a cow. I don't have a cow. I wish my neighbor's cow dead.''- Peter Bevelin
