*************************************************************************
Paul fully sense that envy and pride were like a gruesome twosome, standing on a corner, plotting against their next victim.

In Christopher Marlowe’s play “THE TRAGICAL HISTORY OF DOCTOR FAUSTUS” Envy defines itself. It says, “ I am Envy. Begotten of a Chimney sweep and an Oyster wife. I cannot read and wish, therefore, that all books were burnt. I am lean with seeing others eat.

Oh, that there would come a famine, through all the world, that all might die, and I, live alone. Then thou should see how fat I would be.

Envy is a God-complex. It is the self- appointed Kingship. It refuses the right of any other individual to have more talent, more money, more intelligence, more of anything.

St Thomas Aquinas said, “Envy is the direct opposite of mercy” and if this is true then Mercy must be the antidote for this terrible sickness.

If Energy is self-love, coupled with fear…then mercy must be other-love coupled with compassion.

If envy cannot stand for others to prosper, then mercy must rejoice in others prosperity.

A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. (Proverbs 14:30)
