There was once a group of Thoughts that called themselves the Envies. They distinguished themselves apart from another group of Thoughts who were known as the Tomorrows.
At some point in time, all Thoughts were one huge body of thought. There was no real distinction, and so there was much diversity. Each Thought saw themselves as unique yet living in unity. When they bumped into each other, they explained their perspective. When two Thoughts were in disagreement, they spent all the time it took to understand one another, whether it was to conclude that they were almost the same, or nothing alike.
One day, one Thought decided that it was time to make a decision and settle down. It did not want to learn about new Thoughts. It did not have the patience to walk around and learn where other thoughts originated, or why. It felt completely sure of itself. So it named itself an Envy Thought.
Eventually, other Thoughts grew attracted to Envy's settlement. It saved them the effort of going about and learning about other Thoughts. They grew complacent. They grew shorter tempers. And they moved less.
As the Envies gathered a critical mass, everyThought else wanted to do something about it. They couldn't keep losing themselves to settlement because it endangered Thought itself. So all the other Thoughts decided to focus on tomorrow, and how to best think about the future of the existence of Thought.
And that's how the Envies got distinguished from the Tomorrows.
