Envy

            Hello my friends top of the morn to ya, Todays painting is called (Envy) and it is one of the Seven deadly sins of the Christian Church. Envy  is best 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.I think this happens alot to people without them even knowing it,even something as simple as looking at a cool car driving down the road, or so many other simple things,but some people it effects more than others where it becomes a self destructive emotion where envy burns deep down into their soul where it becomes a all consuming force,I don't think I ever had  envy of anything that bad , may bee if I was old enough during the time when Joe DiMaggio was married to Marilyn Monroe , I think I would of envied that guy like no other hahah,Bertrand Russell said envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness. 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.Envy" and "jealousy" are often used interchangeably, I know I have thought like this too,but in correct usage, they stand for two different distinct emotions. In proper usage, jealousy is the fear of losing something that one possesses to another person, while envy is the pain or frustration caused by another person having something that one does not have oneself. Envy typically involves two people, and jealousy typically involves three people. I think there is alot more that can be said about envy ,but I'm getting tired and just looking at that dog outside sleeping I'm finding myself envying him for getting some sleep while I'm here typing, take care steve. p.s. 
Associated symbols : Envy is linked with the dog and the color green.
