| [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell Bertrand Russell] said envy was one of the most potent [[causes]] of unhappiness. It is a [[universal]] and most unfortunate aspect of [[human]] [[nature]] because not only is the envious [[person]] rendered unhappy by his envy, but also wishes to inflict misfortune on others. Although envy is generally seen as something [[negative]], Russell also believed that envy was a driving [[force]] behind the movement towards [[democracy]] and must be endured in order to achieve a more [[just]] [[Society|social system]. | | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell Bertrand Russell] said envy was one of the most potent [[causes]] of unhappiness.

− | Envy implies a lack within yourself that you [[perceive]] as being filled in the life of some other [[person]]. It is an [[illusion]] because it does not see the [[symmetry]] and [[beauty]], the creative [[potential]], and spiritual status of your true [[self]], of your God given personality. Envy implies a certain sense of injustice in the [[universe]], that somehow you were not given some thing or some [[status]], some aspect of life that you should have had. In a sense,it is an implicit [[criticism]] of God. It also is based on the false [[supposition]] that the outer world provides [[happiness]] and adds to the essential [[worth]] of an individual's [[soul]]. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1999-02-19-Stillness#Envy.2C_Ego Aaron] | + | Envy implies a lack within yourself that you [[perceive]] as being filled in the life of some other [[person]].
