Jealousy is both reasonable and belongs to reasonable men, while envy is base and belongs to the base, for the one makes himself get good things by jealousy, while the other does not allow his neighbour to have them through envy. ~Aristotle

Excellent quote, thanks!

Hatred - because they hate their own hollow lives,
and
Envy - others, for having lives.

They will endlessly seek power over others, because they have none over themselves.
Envy and Hatred are COMPULSIONS. They have no power to quell them inside.
