Envy is a feeling of discontent and resentment aroused by a desire for another person's qualities, possessions or status. If left uncontrolled, envy can develop into contempt and malice towards others. Envy is often fueled by feelings of dissatisfaction, comparison to others, pride and a lack of self-worth. Some ways to deal with envy include developing gratitude for what you have, avoiding comparison, reflecting on why you feel envious, taking a step back from the situation, and focusing on growing your own positive qualities. Envy is the opposite of love as it seeks to destroy others rather than celebrate their qualities.
