Putting a lid on envy

We all should be more mindful of creating envy. Okay, I should have said jealousy, but the correct term is actually envy.

Social sites like Facebook or Instagram are ideal breeding room for envy, plus any other opportunities people take to show a new car, a pair of shoes or talk about their personal achievements on the internet or elsewhere.

By and large, people are more prone to envy than say, compassion, love, appreciation or solidarity. Envy is a creepy feeling that is also taboo in our societies, and because of that, is largely swept under the rug where it breeds and keep growing.

The morale of the story is that we should always be very watchful and concerned of not fanning the flames of envy...
