We can all admit that at atleast once or twice in our lives we`ve found ourselves envious of another person. It is ok to say that envy(in a certain way) is a regular feeling that we get sometimes. For instance: If you`ve competed in a competition and lost then you might feel alittle envious of the winner in comparison to yourself or if there is a clothing/electronic item you desire but can`t afford but you see that someone else has it you might feel envious of that person. But it`s ok sometimes because like i said before, we all feel envy. But it is not ok to begin to feel that you deserve something over someone else. Envy is an emotion that is evoked from someone who lacks something but(in a way) is mad that someone else has it. It can be anything from beauty to wealth. This emotion is mostly derived from a low self-esteem. Under certain circumstances envy can become dangerous if this person feels that if something had happened different then they could have had that quality over the next person. Then they become regretful and revengful. I agree with envy being a sin because I believe everything happens for a reason and that we should all be genuinely happy with ourselves and what we don`t have but need we can get with hard work and knoledge.PEACE.
*sigh* in your bio but it doesnt matter just the fact that you cannot even remember what you wrote about your personality proves my point exactly that you are a hypocrite.
Your key word in this blog was "dangerous". All of the Deadly Sins take their titles because, in excess, they become dangerous. In the case of envy, it becomes a deadly sin when it leads to criminal activity, like theft and murder. Envy can lead to coveting, which the Old Testament forbids as a commandment.
We need to remember that we all have our strengths and our weaknesses. There will always be someone better than us is some area, be that intellect, beauty, athletics, or any other trait. Envy comes when we don't value what we have and want to tilt the balance of traits in a direction outside our personal equilibrium of sorts. Sometimes just hard work and due diligence will allow us to achieve what we would like. Remember that envy may be a Deadly Sin, but patience is a virtue.
