62-17 (II) Envy (The Deadliest Sin) Part 2

(Gated) In Old Money, Nelson W. Aldrich Jr. describes the beginning of the pain of envy as,‘the almost frantic sense of emptiness inside oneself, as if the pump of one’s heart were sucking on air. Envy is mean and miserly, and arguably the most shameful of the deadly sins. Our envy is hardly ever confessed, not even to ourselves. Although the terms are often used interchangeably, envy is not synonymous with jealousy. If envy is the pain caused by the desire for the advantages of others, jealousy is the pain caused by the fear of losing our advantages to others.
