Envy, how sad!
Envy is the only vice that does not produce pleasure, even poisons the soul and creates misery and suffering. Always arises from the comparison, but must remain secret, because it reveals their inferiority in front of you suffer the good and the happiness of others, lived as a decrease of his own being and a sign of its failure

has recently released a book, I heard the presentation in Fahrenheit on Radio Three, Envy passion sad Elena Pulcini, The mill editions.
This is a paper-cut historical-philosophical, which concludes a series dedicated to the seven deadly sins. Envy has always struck me, perhaps because they have never been attracted to me but often felt him as a victim. What struck me is that the author argues that envy is a passion very democratic, expanding, especially after the French Revolution, the bourgeois society of equality. In short, do not envy those of another rank, wealth, talent, role, etc., but they envy their peers, the ones where you would look like or when it would take the place ...
why envy so much hangs in the workplace. Or child, between friends and friends and classmates ... Envy baffles me because I can not prove it, if not nicely, but I am a victim, I said. Even recently. And I realized too late, or badly, suddenly discovering that someone hated me so much to want me hurt.
I can not defend myself with envy. But I think the only reason I have definitely lost some friends. Persons for whom I had trusted and to whom I loved but who have acted dumb. Bad people, certainly insecure, incapable of a real confrontation with the outside world and therefore condemned to ugliness.
I do not envy anyone, but I do not forgive those who hurt.

Beyond Personally, I believe that envy is very widespread and the cause of many misunderstandings. And I fear that those who have a talent, charisma, or just more familiar with life is more prone to suffer the envy of others. And in a world populated by persons who are unable, or limited, it is easy to get to without wanting to excel. I have always believed that envy was born from a lack of ability to be seen from outside. Now I think it's pretty inevitable that anyone who is worth little or nothing does not want to see and admit their limitations. A mirror that says who is the fairest of them all can only end up in pieces in front of these individuals.
But I also wonder if there is any hope for them perpetually angry at the world, and those like me are forced to do the slalom between such stupidity, and found none. An incompetent can not accept this in mind, how a man refused to accept the reality that does not want to be left off. You tell him trying to soften the news and understand that you're swearing eternal love, tell him firmly and tell you that you're cruel but you do not believe the same. I can not find a solution. I do not know to communicate with the envious.
I just have to read this book!
