At the core of this demand is envy. And that's not the same as jealousy. Jealousy just says, "I want what you have." Envy is a different beast. Envy says, "I don't think I can ever have what you have, so you shouldn't have it either."

One of the most profound statements I've heard from Saint Ramsey.

Yep, jealousy can be motivating but envy can only be destructive. What we are seeing in society today is the precise reason that the church designated it as one of the 7 deadly sins!
