Envy and pride are moral sins, yet the underpinnings of leftist movement. Doug -

Jealousy says, “You have something that I want. I want one too. Give it to me.”

Envy says, “You have something that I want. If I can’t have it, I’ll destroy it, so you can’t have it either.” Envy is the moral flaw that underlies all socialist economic theories.

Dude just messed up the definitions of jealousy and envy, I imagine there are better role models.

Jealousy - I'm concerned someone will take what I have or will receive more than me in the future.

Envy - I want what someone else currently has.
