anger

Envy is a core part of our nature, but it is an emotion that most people deny feeling. Even the most stoic among us cannot escape envy entirely. It is born of dissatisfaction. It arises when we see others possessing things we don’t have. This can be anything from achievements and material possessions to qualities like intelligence or beauty. And, since it’s also our nature to be insatiable, we always want more, envy often clings to us like a monkey’s grip.
