Right from my days of tender consciousness, I have had issues with deep envy, as I would normally feel very envious of those better than me. I think envy is a direct property of the sense of personal ownership and entitlement.
Thank you helping me rethink my shadow side more, TN.
You're welcome! Or were you being facetious? LOL
In either case, I would point out that the concept of "better" is part of the whole issue. If Mozart is a musical genius, then he is not "better than" Salieri. Just different. Life has a way of balancing everything out. Who knows? Maybe Mozart was a poor lover while Salieri was like a god in the sack?
