Envy by Keith Wilson of keithwilsoncounseling.com.

Envy is not a rare feeling, but it's a rarely acknowledged one. No one likes to admit they're

envious. Instead, they'll call it some other feeling. Anger, injustice, resentment, sadness,

hurt, puzzled, lonely, bored, or jealous among others. But if you've ever been unhappy that someone had

something you don't, you were envious, admit it. Anger and injustice are mistaken for envy. When you say

it's not right, others have something you don't have. When you nurture that anger, you mistake it

for resentment. You'll call it sadness if you

feel down about it, hurts if it pains you, and puzzled if you don't understand why. They'll say you're

lonely or bored when you wish you had someone or something to do. At the core of all these feelings

is envy. If you want to understand these feelings,

you must call it for what it is, envy. Jealousy is different from envy, although the two words are

often used synonymously. When you possess something and are concerned with losing it to a rival,

that's jealousy. Envy is when you don't possess something

and don't want anyone else to have it either. You're jealous when your girlfriend wants another man.
