Is it normal to feel tortured by jealousy and envy and to feel useless?

I'm incredibly jealous and envious of successful and intelligent people who seem to have achieved so much (for example Bill Gates or Da Vinci). Everything I do seems lame and pathetic in comparison, and I feel like a worker ant in an anthill who will never create anything of value. I suffer from really low self esteem. I'm tired of being stuck in a job that doesn't matter and that doesn't help society.

    I don't get jealous of others' success per se, I just hate when people get everything they want in life but don't deserve it. Especially when they seem ungrateful to those who helped them achieve their dreams, like WTF! Anyway, don't worry about it. The success of others takes nothing from you.

    It doesn't matter, life is limited, so everything good and bad that you do just disappears with your eventual death. In a hundred years Bill gates will just be some random dead computer guy, it seems important right now but it's all meaningless in the long run.

    Just have as much fun as you can and give not two shits for anything else because the rest is fake with a capitol F, that is the meaning of life.

    So what is so special about Bill Gates. Most of Microsoft is stolen from others. All he can do is see what will make money and live off the work of others without thinking about them. He gives away millions but keeps billions. It is like you or I give a few hundred to charity. If you want to be successful lead a good life and help people you meet ot be happy and know their worth. You and I are nuch alike in that we are lacking in self esteme. But I have a few friends an their lives are better for having me as a friend. I always lift them when they are down and I never use friends. You can do it. Yo can be as special as you want to be.
