Envy is an emotion that occurs when a person lacks another’s superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it. At the core of envy seems to be an upward social comparison that threatens a person's self-esteem; another person has something that the envier considers to be important to have. However, what is envied could also be something that is only of personal importance to the envier, even if what the other person has is of little significance in his or her society, or even seen as a sign of inferior status. If the other person is perceived to be similar to the envier, the aroused envy will be particularly intense, because it signals to the envier that it just as well could have been him or her who had the desired object.
The word jealous is often used to describe an envious state. In its correct usage, jealousy is the fear of losing something to another person (a loved one in the prototypical form), while envy is the pain or frustration caused by another person having something that one does not have oneself.
In some cultures, envy is often associated with the color green, as in "green with envy". The phrase "green-eyed monster" refers to an individual whose current actions appear motivated by envy. This is based on a line from Shakespeare's Othello.
Envy (Invidia) is one of the Seven Deadly Sins!!!
Envy can result in both positive and negative behaviors, as it might motivate people to attain more themselves or to damage another person. Kant (1780/1997), in his lectures on ethics, distinguished between "invidia qualificata" (malignant envy) and "invidia in generere" (envy without ill will). His distinction is based on whether hostility is present in the experience; if one feels hostile toward the other it is a malignant form, if not it is the milder, more benign form. According to Parrott (1991) the focus of malicious envy is "I wish that you do not have what you have" while for non-malicious envy the focus is on "I wish to have what you have".
Dated May 15th, 2007; exactly at 1200hrs, called the company to check on the status of prediction on the day's business. A co-worker that I wished to speak to told me that there has been complaint that I have been reporting work late and I did admit that due to my medical condition. So I thought the complaint just end there! Then, she told me that other co-worker said that when I reached the company for reporting duty, I changed into my working attire and step back out of the building just to get my daily caffeine fix. What really angered me was the co-worker who complained said that there is witness from other department to my so-called sin.
WHY THE HELL WOULD I TAKE ALL THE TROUBLE TO CHANGE THEN JUST TO STEP BACK OUT JUST TO FULFILL MY ADDICTION WHILE I CAN GET IT ON MY WAY REACHING THE COMPANY?????
What's with the LIES? Does it really makes one feel better after making malicious comments on others? I KNOW these people are just intimidated by me as they know I'm the best in the department and THEY KNOW IT! Stop all these as it does makes the department goes deep in to the abyss. If you, co-worker do want what I have; think with your lively, bleeding mind before making any comment and start thinking for yourself before taking notice on the negative side of a person. DO NOT EVER FEEL INTIMIDATED BY ME as I AM LEARNING TOO and learning is a never-ending process!
