“Envy is not a vice”


Envy is in fact not the best manifestation of human upbringing. However, in this work, the emphasis should be on the so-called white envy, which arises from joy for another person, for his successes, achievements, his luck. It is necessary to tell that such envy does not involve any abnormal actions or wishes of the worst to this successful person, but on the contrary, encourages those who envy, aims at conquering similar peaks, achieving success, and the desire to improve.

Here is the theme for the essay, which implies a discussion. After all, we are accustomed to regard envy as a blemish from the early childhood, whether it is black or white, about which it is not yet clear whether it really exists, or is simply a man’s ability to mask his black envy with white veils. Envy is an ugly feeling, because it makes us want something that belongs to another, rightfully or not – it does not matter. Faith teaches us to be content with what fate gives us, not to grumble and

patiently bear the test that has come to our share. Of course, it is clear that it is difficult to resist the feeling of envy, when you have nothing, and another bathes in luxury. He got it absolutely easily, and even dishonestly. However, even in this case, envy is a destructive feeling, destroying the soul of a person, making it someone else. Not kind and sweet, but evil and malevolent. Envy has an ugly face that can not be liked, and therefore envy is usually carefully concealed and only alone with the mirror frightens itself with its own true appearance. So my opinion is that envy is a vice and yet what. This vice prevents a person from being happy, because it is impossible to feel happiness envying someone.

Envy can not be a vice, if as the people say. it will be white. And this only means that such envy stimulates any person for some personal achievements and victories.

And when he looks at a more successful person, he wants to equal and pull himself to his level, that’s always going to be good.

But if a person envies only from the fact that this case is better and is done with a note of malice, it will already be unworthy and sinful.

Because envy is a very negative feeling that sharpens and destroys the inner world of a person.

And he envies himself only by destroying himself. And this prevents him from living his life to the fullest, as it should be.
