Envy is a Four Letter Word
Quote de jour
This young deer wandered onto our property recently looking for dinner. For some reason, its thin frame reminded me of the seven deadly sins. Not gluttony but envy. Every time I've envied someone, eventually I learn of some flaw or tragedy which instantly negates the envy. How about you?

Lovely lovely deer. I don't feel envy often, or many of the 7 deadly sins, but when I do I usually burn out with anger pretty quickly, then the nasty feelings drop away, burnout.

I don't think I've ever envied anyone. I guess I was just always content with who I am. I have felt empathy at times...and pity for those who use material goods to enhance themselves with "boasts".

Hmmm, I think I struggle more with Wrath than Envy, but I love both the inspiration and the analogy you've shared here. Your deer have been gracing the background of our computer since you sent them.
