RE: Psychology Addict # 44 | Envy: An Unfortunate Facet of Human Nature

in #psychology6 years ago

At times even when we condition our minds not to compare ourselves to others and then feel that envy, we tend to fall victim to external similar comparison done by the people in our social circle and unluckily for us that might cause us to partake in some subtle comparisons, but I think that the actions we take when we are envious of someone else is what makes our envious side good or bad.

This is a very insightful, straight-forward comment @nigtroy!

You have raised a very important point here: the comparison that others place us in. But, I believe that in such cases, once again, self-understanding plays an important part in these cases as much as communicating them to others... this is a sort of discussion which I believe it is very important to have in the household to avoid this sort of situation.

Thank you for this great comment!
Best :)
