"Envy is the tribute that mediocrity pays to talent".
Legend has it that once, a snake began to chase a firefly. The firefly fled quickly and in fear of the fierce predator, but the snake had no intention of giving up. It fled for a day and the snake did not relent, two days and nothing. On the third day, already without strength, the firefly stopped and said to the snake:
– Can I ask you three questions?
– I do not usually make concessions to anyone, but since I am going to devour you, you may ask.
– Am I part of your food chain?
– No.
– Did I do you any harm?
– No.
– Then, why do you want to end me?
– Because I cannot stand to see you shine.
MORAL: It is a real case in our society where there are people who cannot understand the success of others and always degrade it to avoid recognizing their mediocrity. We must understand that behind every achievement, there is an extraordinary person and great tenacity that makes it possible.
More than the truth, there are people who do not understand the success of others.
