Well it's human nature to want what you don't have, one of the core principles of economics is that human want is insatiable. It's only natural to envy someone who's successful or better yet, more successful than you are and this is because he/she has more than you do.
When you see someone that's more successful than you are, you can react in 3 ways
1: Be happy for them: These days, this has become the least popular reaction because most people don't want anybody to do better than they are
2. Envy them: From time immemorial, even dating as far back as Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, human beings have always envied people who are doing better than them, simply because we want to do better than everyone else. People that envy others often don't want the people they envy to do badly or not be successful, they just want to be more successful than they are.
3. Be passive about it: Some people just don't care and whether or not you're more successful than they are doesn't matter to them. They'll go on living their lives like as if nothing happened.
Exactly the question I am asking myself all over again... But, whatever someone does that is considered a bad behavior, the root of that is in EGO. EGO is our worst enemy and we are not thought enough in our schools as a kid about the topic of EGO.
EGO kills humanity, in one sentence. It literally destroys everything around you and making you feel better about it. It seems not that logical that you can do that, but EGO is that powerful. I know it's hard to see your EGO, and for someone, it's even hard to admit that they have EGO, but it's the ''thing'' we need to first learn about so that we can fight against.
So, my blame falls to educational system that is shaping our kids into same boxes, killing creativity, not teaching kids about emotional intelligence and not teaching them about the EGO... and many other things...
Envy is an instinctive feeling experienced by every human being. Buunk (2012) argues that envy is a response to others who have the success, success, skills and quality of life that we want.
Sometimes jealousy can grow in a nearby environment such as a family where brother and sister can emerge social jealousy. Or for example envy can happen to see friends own what we don't have.
A study by taking data through questionnaires and interviews shows that most people are dishonest in answering whether they feel jealous or do not see the success of others. However, in a meeting between clients and psychologists, it was found that the actual disorder that appeared was often triggered by jealousy or social jealousy that was not easily recognized.
I observe the social trends that occur, why do easy people feel jealous of the success of others? Even though we say "No, I'm not jealous! "Actually there is a part of a small heart that is instinctively jealous of others.
This is common. People compare themselves to others because of vanity and bitterness. Pride? Yes. But I guess the most obvious reason why people envy on other's success is greed. They want to be in the position where they want to experience that feeling.
It is a human nature and a very common trait for people who are evil. They got envy because they want to be in the position. They got envy because they feel they deserve it more than you. They got envy most importantly because they are evil. Their hearts are filled with hatred and bitterness.
Success is defined by a person's hard work and a little bit of luck. If they fail to achieve that, they start worrying on the things around. They wish to be the person as they want, but they fail to achieve it that's why they got envy on people who achieved success in life - simply because they failed to achieve it.
One advice, be passive. Don't dwell on their shits. Focus on your life and they're just a little stumbling blocks that hinders your way. Be focused and stay in line with your goals.
It is normal to feel a little sad or worried when you see others all around you making it big in their respective fields in life and you just seem to be stagnant. It is such a saddening feeling that gradually develops but if it is not controlled, you begin too desirous of what they have and jealousy comes in crowning the whole envy thing which is really unhealthy..
People turn to be envious of others out of sheer jealousy to see others making it and not them. This is very vommon in humans nowadays as jealousy has been the character of the day that friends became so jealous of their friends that they even end up harming them. Envy and jealousy are two things that floe together and where you find one, the other's presence is not a doubt.
Also, so many people have been pushed to be envious of others because of pressure imposed by their families, loved ones and society on them. Many people out there who were content and leading content lives have turned to be envious as a result of pressure imposed on them by the society. It is common to see how parents lash out on their cgildren comparing them to their other mates who are very successful. These only mounts pressure on such children and only promotes envying in them.
