Envy is one of the seven deadly sins. It is an evil mindset
and emotion that will bring others down. So what is it? Let us
discuss.
Envy: This is best described in an example, so here it
goes. You work very hard each and every day, but despite this are poor.
Then you see others who are better off than yourself. Due to this
you then want to bring others into the same position that you are in due to the
envy you feel. As such, you are vengeful over the successes of others and
thus want them to be in the same miserable state you yourself are currently in.
This is how envy works.
Are we an Envy mindset nation?: Sometimes I think we are. Yes
we do have people in poverty and that they see those with more
"wealth" as showoffs, boastful and even just plain pompous. But
we also have it with people who make barely above minimum wage (I make barely above
minimum wage) where they protest to get higher wages through government.
Meanwhile I am paid less than a fast food worker while working as a
pharmacy technician. Hence why I perceive some of these people as envious
of others’ lives and thus seek to acquire it through government aid. Others
have attacked business owners out of misdirected rage over corporate greed
(they are envious over corporate America's wealth). Basically it is sad.
However, we may be able to escape the foolishness by recognizing this
foolish mindset. Which is why I write this issue for you my readers to
read.
Conclusion: Do not become envious of others.
You do not need what they got and you don't need them suffering with you
because that will not make anyone feel any better. Envy is the tool of
the bitter, and of people who are quitters. All I can say is fight on my
readers, and take every opportunity to advance yourself whenever possible for
that will help you succeed.
