Pronunciation Key: (nv)
n. pl. en·vies

i) A feeling of discontent and resentment aroused by and in conjunction with desire for the possessions or qualities of another. The object of such feeling: Their new pool made them the envy of their neighbors.

ii) Obsolete. Malevolence.

someone told me that when you are envy of another person. actually you like that person. being materialism envy, characteristc envy, ownership envy, etc. just when this statement is true, it also means discontent and resentment with desire( see above). Another synonyms for envy is jealously, jaundiced, maliciousness.

you see, a higher degree of envy is actually jealously in disguise. in most movies and tv shows, you saw a lot of things happened like murder, all aroused from jealous. now don't say that i watched too much tv or stereo-typing. in fact what inspires all the authors of many nice movies and stories is based on the real-time life in the society. just like office politics, the next closer scenerio in our lifes.

out of jealously, one colleague plotted and backstabbed his own colleague causing him to lose his job, which demoralised him, his wife ran away leading to suicide. i never underestimate the power of jealously. neither would i envy of someone. i don't believe there's ugly people, stupid people, poor people. i only believe there's lazy people. i believe in if he can do it, so can i.

just when is the last time you are envy of sombody or something? is it just plain envy or you are jealous?
