envy!!

Envying others is inbuilt in human nature.Envy comes to every person at one stage or the other and for some people it remains for ever.Envying is not bad by itself but the fall out or consequences are bad if assumes action. If feeling envy for a while it is alright and it continues and forces you to do harmful acts to others, then it is certainly bad and cannot be tolerated.Viewed from another angle envy leads to competition and healthy competition is welcome but not harmful or cut throat competition which is bad.Yes I also felt envy at other friends who scored more in life like making more money than me. I also felt many times others envied me for my success in my official career.The next question is as to how to overcome it.There are no hard and fast rules or procedure laid down to overcome envy. As I have already said that envying others resulting in harmful or evil acts should be avoided.

hi there, yes i do feel envy sometimes. and honestly i really hate feeling that way especially if i dont have what i want or when im insecure.What i did to overcome this feeling is that i make that feeling a challenge one, not as a competition but for a self growth. I see it in a positive way and i said to my self that " Why should i envy them when i know that im better than that" that phrase makes me feel good and keeps me positive.

I'm a human being and I'm not immune to envy. However, this is what I do to overcome it. I either try to become better than the person that I envy or I just lovingly accept myself just as I am, with all my limitations. I also appreciate everything that I have. I also remind myself that while that person may be more blessed than I am in one department, I may be more blessed than that person in another department. Gratitude for what we have is a very good antidote to envy.

I personally think that at least once in our lives, humans experience feeling envy over something or someone. I actually feel it from time to time especially because I'm not that confident about myself and I have a lot of insecurities. I often envy my friends because I find them really pretty and I feel so ugly standing next to them. However, I try hard to overcome this feeling by thinking about our friendship and reminding myself that we are not friends because we want to compete with each other we feel comfortable when we're together. I keep instilling in my mind that I don't have to be as pretty as they are for them to accept me because that's what real friends do. =)

You would be envy if someone has something that you really want. It is natural to feel envious in that situation. But the problems is if you are dwelling too much on that feeling. It is not healthy. Yes he or she has something that you don't have. But you can attain it if you work hard on it right? So focus instead on working hard to get more than it.

I will not talk high sounding words as I read about the people just now on this topic.Its human nature to feel envy and everyone is trapped in this instinct of getting envy.The only thing right now I envy is my friends who with their husbands have settled in abroad and I and my hubby are still looking for better opportunities of working abroad.My hubby is very patient and contented type of a guy but when I see my brother in laws working in USA I feel more and more lured of going there and working there.I know my hubby is extremly doing well in India but when you see your family members working abroad with handsome dollars its obvious even if you are sensible somehwhere or the other you may feel low or jealous and may get tempted to work there.Guys are comparatively more broader than girls when it comes to envy someone.Obviously God has made women in such a way that they cannot avoid this bad virtue of getting jealous and envy.
