"Envy is the religion of the mediocre.it comforts them,it soothes their worries and finally it rots their souls, allowing them to justify their meanness and their greed until they believe these to be virtues"-carlos Rulz zafon.
Envy is resenting others because of their successful lives or whatever they possess. Wanting to have what others have.
Envy is a negative feeling,it only makes you unhappy and also ruin the good relationships you already have.
When you feel sad because of the success of others that is jealousy but when you want to be in that position of another that is envy.
You have to know life itself is a dice,it's not fair,you will definitely meet people who will have more than you have,more successful than you are, more healthy than you,you have to learn how to be contented with what you have, focus on yourself more than focusing on others,stop seeing yourself as a failure because you are not!!
