Whence envy?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37359points) July 20th, 2013

Envy puzzles me. It is not a constant state. Were it, it would not be so recognizable.

Its head pops up now and again, and the best I can do is ponder and let it pass.

I surmise its origin lies in fear. I am afraid of lack. I’m struck from time to time by the irrational emotions that I am somehow not as good as another at some activity or state of being or with some material possession.

Do you experience envy? How often?

Where does it rise from?
