On the Deadly Sin of Envy!

Of all seven Deadly Sins

Envy causes untold stress!

It’s a state where no one wins

And hateful thoughts are not addressed.

 

Like its Big Brother - Jealousy

It destroys our inner peace

Why yearn for something that can’t be?

But hackles rise and won’t release…

 

Is the grass greener t’other side?

We feel we’re missing out on joy

Does longing deeper motives hide

Our purpose – is it to annoy?

 

Destructive forces are in play…

We know we cannot have it all

But some just see the world this way;

So, “live and let live” is my call!
