Envy (Retired)

The Seven Deadly Sins is a collection of vices that achieved infamy because they are sins that directly give rise to ALL other sins. They are classified as __eadly_ because these sins are abuses or excessive versions of natural human needs and passions.

The 7 Deadly Sins have been an important moral lesson throughout history, such as in Dante__ Inferno, where sinners are grouped and punished in Purgatory according to their sins. Even today, priests and preachers use the concept of the __eadly_ sins to help people curb their inclinations before dire consequences and other misdeeds can occur.

Malicious envy is similar to jealousy. Both feel discontent toward someone else__ traits, status, abilities, or rewards; but envy also yearns to acquire what it covets and desires. Dante described envy as __ desire to deprive other men of theirs._ Thomas Aquinas wrote of envy__ poisonous joy at another__ misfortune and its grief at another__ prosperity. This OHM design is tangled in the hissing coils of its venomous viper of ENVY. A restless, searching, covetous eye looks hungrily at other people__ beauty, talent, clothing, relationships, promotions, and riches, wanting enviously to take what they have. There__ even a Freudian form of envy.
