”And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.“ Ecclesiastes 4:4
When your neighbor, relative, friend, and work colleague progress what inner feelings do you have toward them? People who are driven by envy and jealousy have no room for other people’s happiness. There is nothing as explosive as negative inner feelings. ”Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.“ Job 5:2.
Do your best to have a clean and positive view of others around you. Envy and jealousy are based on the addictive illusion that if we have what another person has we will be satisfied. Unfortunately like a mirage, this kind of goal is
impossible to attain.
