My assertion from Waldo is “Envy is ignorance.” I believe this means that if people envy everyone, like celebrities and millionaires they are ignoring their own individuality and their own talents which is wrong. They worry more about the person they are envying than they do about themselves causing them not to reach their full potential. My fact to support this is people like my friends want to be like Drake, or my dad wants be rich like Bill Gates, but in reality we know they can’t be them so they should just be themselves.

My 5th fact is the definition of envy which is “a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck.” now why would someone want to be like this obsessing over someone, saying “I wish I had his/her money.” or “I wish I had his/her looks” you should be content with who you are and love yourself no matter what, because if you get too caught up in someone else you become more like them and lose your own individuality which is arguably one of the worst things you can lose.
So follow your own path because in the end it’s your path you're taking not someone else's, so enjoy yourself and who you are because you're not anyone else you're you. So go and be
