Ge 30:13 "And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher."
Asher was the 8th son that Leah, and Rachel and their handmaids gave Jacob.
It isn’t very nice that Leah named the son Asher (which means joy) to spite her sister.
Maybe the good way to look at it is that I have many things that other people don’t have: a nice place to live, a good job, a cool car, more than enough food to eat. Today I will try to be thankful that I have them.

Yikes! I hadn't thought of that.
Jimmy Durante sang in his great song "InkaDinkaDoo" "I once sang for the Sultan of Passion and he offered me his harem of 500 wives.
I turned him down. Who wants 1000 pairs of stockings hung over the shower in the morning, not Durante."
