ENVY: wanting what somebody else has: the resentful or unhappy feeling of wanting somebody else's success, good fortune, qualities, or possessions transitive verb…Envy. It’s a natural reaction to another’s success, beauty or apparent ease in the world. But is it deadly? Or is the deadly part how we act on it.
Truth is, envy can be a good thing, if you leave out the resentment part. Be the object of your envy has succeeded, and if it’s the kind of success you want in your life, decide what you need to do to accomplish similar success.
Bless it and you’ll be blessed, curse it and you curse yourself – it’s an old adage, which proves itself daily in our lives. I don’t consider envy a deadly sin. As with most things in our world, it is not the thing that is deadly, but how we use it.
