ENVY DOTH ISSUE FORTH FROM GREED

There is Envy which is but a thought and there is Envy which burns with a destructive madness and which kindles the fires of Hatred and Vandalism and Murder and Destruction.

The envious person feels or thinks that the good fortune of others is undeserved and in their Greed the envious would dispossess other undeserving and overly fortunate persons. 

I have heard the statement, ``I just hate such or whatever`` and what is perceptible is that there is Envy in play. The statements along the lines of `` You think you are so great `` are a manifestation of Envy. Envy is a catalyst to promote the creation of more Deadly Sins.

The Ten Commandments have two prohibitions regarding ``Coveting`` the neighbor`s wife or goods which could be considered as being Envy related .

Does Envy proceed so directly from Greed that it is part of Greed. Are there people who are personally greedy who are not envious of other persons. Would Greed be a result of fear of doing without and Envy be a manifestation of Pride slighted and blunted by the fortunate circumstance or success of others.

                                               

PRIDE is another human emotion which is on the List of Seven Deadly Sins which if all it is is a thought or a feeling, what harm might Pride do without Gods to offend and the Gods do not  exist.

PRIDE negatively can be a catalyst which would promote or motivate the commission of truly damaging sins. 

Like Envy or even Hatred, if you keep your Pride in an Artistic or Journalistic milieu there is unlikely to be any real damage done unless you call for violence or invasion and seizure of property and the violation of the quiet enjoyment of life.

GO AHEAD AND BE AS PROUD YOU WOULD WANT TO BE OF YOURSELF AND YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES.

DO NOT DIMINISH THE PRIDE WHICH OTHER PERSONS HAVE IN THEMSELVES OR THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES. SELF ESTEEM AND CONFIDENCE AND EVEN DILIGENCE ARE ALL NECESSARY AND DO SPRING FORTH FROM PRIDE. 

PRIDE IS NECESSARY. PRIDE IS GOOD. WHEN PRIDE IS UNJUSTIFIED OR PRIDE CREATES DISREGARD AND MOTIVATES HARMFUL ACTS THEN THAT WOULD BE THE SIN OF PRIDE. The Malignant Narcissist Pride is a mental illness or neurosis.
