I think Lucretius would say toast envy was the image of toast sent forth through the air, pushed by atoms to the world and interpreted by the pores of the receiver. No, he probably wouldn't say that. I'm reading Lucretius and have no idea what he says most of the time. But now I'm have my toast envy that I'm treating by having biscuits with my mom's homemade plum jelly instead. Hopefully you don't have biscuit envy now.

And I have discipline envy, I wish I had 1/10th of what you have... And I wish we could send you to Morocco, so you can write the Climate Collapse Bible. We'll need it.

I really don't have. I am quite good at filling my time with productive things that seem interesting in the moment. Not so good with doing a thing because I previously decided to to it!

And now I have toast envy, as I thought I had the ability to idiot around and discover originality... Alas, I accept my role as only bread (at this point, at least)...

True enough, and if I can retort, I would offer the following “Without clouds, there would be no rain.” 😉
