Envy

One of the most misunderstood emotion is envy.
People say, envy is bad, don’t envy,
take inspiration, learn from them.
Well the thing is, envy is an emotion.
Have you ever see someone so successful, and think,
“I think I want to envy him.”
Never, right?
It comes automatically.
You see something more than what’s yours, envy blooms.
We are never in control.

The feeling of envy is very human,
It’s embedded deep in our DNA.
It is the fuel for growth.
To compete, to win the battle of survival.
It’s the result of natural selection,
Those that don’t envy, refuses to grow, lost in the gene pool.

After realizing what envy is,
here is what we can do whenever envy arises.
Recognize what you’re feeling.
Emotions are emotions.
They are not a part of you.
It is simply a physical response from the brain.
Let the envy flows, let it thrive, but don’t let it become the part of you.
Envy happens to the body,
and you are just a soul inhabiting a body.
