Jealousy

There is a person that I am jealous of, but not for the reasons that everyone would think. That person is Brad Pitt.

I am not jealous of his rugged good looks, the fact that he is in a relationship with Angelina Jolie, or that he is a great actor.  I am not jealous that he has dated other famous and beautiful women, the movie star lifestyle, or any and everything that comes with all that.

I am jealous of his humanitarian work, that Mr. Pitt has adopted kids from all over the world, his work with the One Campaign, his work in Haiti, Chad, New Orleans, and Sudan, his support of environmental friendly design, and his stance on same sex marriage. That is what I am jealous of.

You may say that it is easy for him because of his status and wealth in society, and that may be true, but that is not what makes the man. It is his vision and doing what he feels is right.

I try to live the same way with the exception of the large bank account.

(Honorable mention in this category- George Clooney and Matt Damon)

  1. Thank you for being a manly man that says this, as it is why I admire these folks; but when I say so, everyone "twinkles their eyes" at me, and makes me feel like they are grown-ups indulging a middle schooler with a crush...yuck.
