"He who is envious is unable to love and appreciate others. Envy opens the floodgates to one's darkest emotions and most mean-spirited inclinations. When it is in one's heart, his neighbor's hens will look like turkeys, and his neighbor's cabin like a castle. Envy enlarges everything the wrong way. But for all the unkind things said about it, it would only be fair to acknowledge that not all envy is destructive. If it leads one to work hard and to improve his skills, it becomes a stimulant to self-improvement. God has not given His child qualities that cannot be used for good." (Plurk Paste)
