Comments for Envy: An Illness In Itself at http://innerself.com/html , comment 0 to 1 out of 1 comments http://innerself.com/html Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:15:55 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://innerself.com/html/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5746&Itemid=40#pc_160 After a particularly stressful experience at work with people who smile in my face but throw eye-daggers at me while doing so, I became quite ill. So ill, in fact, that it took some weeks before I could return to work. I try to keep a low profile but in an environment where sloth and incompetence reign, I find that even my most minimal efforts to keep my work in order is seen as trying to outshine the others. I've slowed my pace and do whatever I can to keep out of sight but am constantly sought out to help others - even those who have sabotaged me in the past. I am not the type of person to refuse help if I can give it. I find myself smudging my workspace at least once a week but it looks like I'll have to do it more often and with more precision. It was especially interesting to read that people will send the bad energy to your familiars as a way to get at you. My children are healthy as can be and one of them became ill, which then transferred onto me. I couldn't help but thinking someone had put the "stink" on me. Lots of people think it's not true, that it can't happen, that it's all in my head but your article really nails it. - Gabriela Sun, 21 Oct 2007 15:00:58 +0100
