Envy and jealousy are probably the two most destructive emotions humans have.

They go hand in hand and unchecked lead straight to the destruction of human beings.

The most dangerous combination is an envious person with a little bit of power over others. Such a person is to be feared, despised, and if possible destroyed.

Strange, we know it's bad, but I'm not exactly sure what it is. Websters says it's a resentment against the advantage of others.

Good point.

Out of charity, I'd rephrase your second sentence, "Such a person is to be feared, pitied, and, if possible, converted or otherwise neutralized."
