Envy
From Wikipedia,
Envy (also called
invidiousness) may be defined as an
emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another's
(perceived) superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it."
[1]
Envy can also derive from a sense of low
self-esteem that results from an upward social comparison threatening a person's
self image: another person has something that the envier considers to be important to have. If the other person is perceived to be similar to the envier, the aroused envy will be particularly intense, because it signals to the envier that it just as well could have been he or she who had the desired object.
[2][3]
Bertrand Russell said envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness.
[4] It is a universal and most unfortunate aspect of
human nature because not only is the envious person rendered unhappy by his envy, but also wishes to inflict misfortune on others.
