Envy can also derive from a [[sense]] of low[[ self-esteem]] that results from an upward social [[comparison]] threatening a person's [[self]] image: another person has something that the envier considers to be important to have. 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 he or she who had the [[desired]] object.

[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].

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]]. - [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1999-02-19-Stillness#Envy.2C_Ego Aaron]
