Question
Maybe like the two boys in the old testament. I believe in many ways I have stolen my brother's birthright. My older brother. He I hold as having less fear of living than do I. I have actually taken things of his without saying. I would like to make amends. Some people take what they ant in life and others act jealous of those that tkae what they want in life. I am looking to forget my jealousies. Some jealousies are "normal" and one grows out of them. Is the answer to just take what you want in life?
