The Will to Destroy


I looked up something today that I've been a little curious about. Is there a difference between Envy and Jealousy?

Yes, there is.

Jealousy is how you feel when you have a significant relationship that you think is being threatened.

Envy is how you feel when you're lacking a skill, achievement or possession that someone else has, and you really wish you had it.

I wish I never had to feel either of these emotions, but they are both part of the normal human experience. I think being able to recognize these crappy feelings when they come up, and open enough to talk about them, can definitely help lead to positive ways for dealing with them.
Sometimes the truth hurts, but denial can kill.
