The Green Eyed Monster

Of all the seven deadly sins, we think of envy as being the least fun of all. It is the one that people are least likely to want to own up to, for as to do so would mean that one is cold-hearted, mean and selfish. Now unless you're Jesus or Mother Theresa, you have probably experienced at least a flash of envy's evil. Everyone should anticipate encountering it at some stage in their lives …

…of looking like gorgeous stick insects in huge sunnies. How horrible to think that without this envy, they wouldn't have a goal to strive towards. You see, I really do not think we could survive without this green-eyed monster envy. It allows us to set goals for ourselves and have something to live for. So I ask you ladies and gentlemen, is envy really a monster? Or is it in fact, a blessing in disguise?
