INFINITY.

We all know this word in one form or the other. It’s number ten in the Ten Commandments, and Pope Gregory the Great identified it as the number two sin of the Seven Deadly Sins. According to history, ‘envy’ was listed as one of the deadly sins because to commit it would mean spiritual fatality. If this is true, then I’ll be coming back as a cockroach or worse yet, a Geico caveman.

My envy is for one particular thing, not multiple, no plurals, just one. But, as hard as I try I just cannot seem to rid myself of this envy. I’ve read self-help books, “The Power of Now“, and even “He’s Just Not That Into You” which by the way has nothing to do with my problem or my lifestyle, but I was willing to try anything! I’ve meditated, joined a yoga class, and burned incense to no avail. If there were a 12 Step Program, I’d become an anonymous member!

I’ve concluded that I need to confess my struggle, in hopes that others will identify and help in my healing.

Here goes:

“Hello my name is NEENZ (NEENZ) and I suffer from envy of people with high metabolism. It began when I was younger, I noticed I was different. It got worse with time. I don’t envy athletes or energetic children, it’s a bit more complicated. It’s those that can consume as much food as they want and not gain a pound. I’ve asked God and Buddha, well not Buddha, but God why can’t that be me? Why is it that when I go to a buffet I walk out $30 lighter in my wallet, but 30 lbs. heavier in the torso? And yet there are those who can consume the exact same portions, and they’ll belch every caloric carbohydrate right out of their mouths. Well, that’s my story thank you for listening.”

Does anyone else have a burning desire?
