We are getting close to the end of the 7 sins. If you’re just tuning in, make sure to check out lust, gluttony, greed, sloth and wrath.
Now, let’s turn our attention to envy. The difference between envy and greed is rather difficult to explain, so I will let wikipedia do it for me: “Like greed, Envy (Latin, invidia) may be characterized by an insatiable desire; they differ, however, for two main reasons. First, greed is largely associated with material goods, whereas envy may apply more generally. Second, those who commit the sin of envy resent that another person has something they perceive themselves as lacking, and wish the other person to be deprived of it.”
Creative people come up with unique desires and goals. Envious people want something some one else has.
Simply put, envy isn’t creative.
Be creative and write 1 of your own desires or goals in the comments.
