”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 to 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 have we will be satisfied. Unfortunately like a mirage this kind of goal is not possible to attain.
