Envy is a propensity to view the well-being of others with distress, even though it does not detract from one’s own. An envious person does not want to see their well-being overshadowed by another's. We compare ourselves with others instead of seeing our intrinsic spiritual worth and well-being. Envy aims, at least in terms of one’s wishes, at destroying others’ good fortune.
