Tis true. Every time I’m envious it’s because I feel less than what is triggering it.

When you feel jealous you are admiring to yourself that someone is better than you This can never happen They may have more money, better standing, seem more attractive But they are not better than you Operate from a position of total superiority.

envy reveals insecurity, but it’s also a signal to explore what you actually want and why you feel so far from it.

Been envied many times in my life. It's good to keep that perspective in mind.

An analysis inspired by Martha Nussbaum: We might say envy is the desire that someone not have something good thing X that we desire ourselves. It implies an inferiority because it implies we do not have X while the object of our envy does. This implies an infantile desire for omnipotent control over having X (ie, an entitlement). Envy is toxic because it blocks admiration for those having good thing X (Eg, excellence), whether it be ourselves or others.

Revenge is also one of them. Needing revenge is just showing people they are above you.

Jealousy is one thing, Envy is when they actually take action to hurt you because they feel inferior and I secure how fucked up is that 🙄

Antiblack racism is a product of material envy.

Avoiding envy is easy when you understand that there’s no free lunch, and everyone pays some form of sacrifice for what they have

The person you're envious of is superior to you.

Envy is a declaration of inferiority. Socialism is the politics of envy. Socialism is perfectly suited to those who consider themselves victims, having given up their agency in life.
Comparison is the theft of joy and envy is a byproduct

The West has already conquered genuine poverty. Poor people have apartments, cars and flat screens. But what never goes away is envy, which is just rooted in human beings. UBI, even a really good UBI, will not solve this problem. And AI making everyone idle will magnify it.

I must be doing something right. I walk this path and stay on

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.

If you want something go after it.

it must be energy sapping 😬

Envy is admitting someone has something you want but don’t think you can get. Confident people see wins as proof of what’s possible. Insecure people see them as threats

What is envy?

So because I'm envious of another woman's boobs, mine must be inferior?

Reason why jealous is never part of us(Me, my self and I).
