This is my first entry for a challenge, still don’t know if I am doing this correctly but maybe I will keep doing these challenges with all the other great members of Virily.
Envy is a deep and often hostile resentment toward a person who has something we desire. It is a yearning for what one has and at the same time a sense of inability to achieve it.
Envy leads us to compare ourselves with others, the lives, and goods of others. To overcome jealousy we need to strengthen our self-esteem and sense of security. We need to understand that our true value comes from who we are, not from what we have. We also need to increase our empathy towards others by shifting our focus from ourselves outward. We need to learn to admire others and appreciate their success by celebrating with them and sincerely praising them.
I don’t consider myself an envious person but I have already suffered from others envy and it is not a good feeling.

thanks for sharing, reminds me not to envy others.
A great post. You have rightly underscored the root cause of envy, that is comparisons.
Thank you! Most people are constantly comparing themselves with others, that lead to frustrations and envy.
Envy is a natural emotion that can be easily controlled
I agree, it is a natural feeling but we can control it.
Envy is one of the deadly sins.
It is, sometimes envy leads to bad behaviors.
You are doing the challenge fine. Envy is something that will bring lots of problems to our lives if we allow it.
Thank you, yes, it brings problems and frustrations, better appreciate what we have.
This is one of those emotions that never let you be happy. I am done with anything that kills my happiness.
True, it is difficult to be happy if we constantly envy others lives.
I will say nothing but that envy is a very nasty disease, dear friend
It is a feeling but you are right, it can be considered a disease.
And that is incurable, dear Nela
