Who has ever get jealous with other people?
There's a painting on the wall of chapel in Pandua, made by Renaissance artist, named Giotto. He depicted envy as a creature with big and long ear, which can hear every bit of news of another's success, but also a tongue of a serpent to poison the reputation of the one of being envied.
And, what's even more interesting from that painting, the creature is blind, because the serpent bite its own eye, and destroying itself with its venomous evil.
When we envy people, that's exactly what we will do. But, without realize, It will put us in distress, unhappy, and make us forget about our own blessing. Put us in trouble and vexes.
And, what's the antidote.. well, the answer is to love. Just like a mother who never envies her own children, but hopes the best for her children. She always shares in happiness with her children achievements, because she loves her.
Stop being envy, but love, and gratitude!

I mostly do not get jealous or envy (though to be envy is allowed and acceptable). I have learned to live with what I have, and I am.
But, only too often, people failed to realize that they could love rather than hate.
Well done my friend, but without the existence of envoy among us we will not relies our true friends or our true lovers. Plus of that, envy has a great ability to release our buried skills. God bless you my amazing friend.
Fear of envy is one of the major obstacles, one of the major things that stops us from achieving success in our life,same the other side, it help us to reach our goal.I believe such envy person are not successful by themselves,they are afraid to do something new,so instead of doing excellent they sit back and say negative things who achieve the success in life.
On one hand, envy can be viewed as a motivational and the extra push that someone needs in order to achieve his/her true potential. Just don't let envy eats you alive.
Hi Sono, it's great to see you again. Thanks for your comment
Yes, in this "survival of the fittest" world, it's easy to compare ourselves with others
Hi, Stephen glad to see you.
Envy is ever joined with the comparing of a man's self; and where there is no. It is easy to read and harder to leave but regardless I am grateful for reading this blog ...
