BS.


No faculty is evil on its own. if used properly it can be positive and beneficial.

Envy...if you envy..say...someone with strong imaan it can be good if that will drive you to be like him/her.

envy =
1
a) A feeling of discontent and resentment aroused by and in conjunction with desire for the possessions or qualities of another.
b) The object of such feeling: Their new pool made them the envy of their neighbors.
2. Obsolete. Malevolence.

whereas
jealousy =
Jealousy is an emotion experienced by one who perceives that another person is giving something that s/he wants or feels is due to them (often attention, love, respect or affection) to an alternate. For example, a child will likely become jealous when their parents give sweets to a sibling but not to them. An adult may become jealous if they observe that their lover is flirting with someone else, perceiving a threat to their relationship. While the child's jealousy might be assuaged if they received candy from their parents as well, the jealous lover desires that the affections of their lover be directed exclusively to themselves and would not be assuaged by an equal share of attention.

Basra:- I think the Somali way of thinking is much more accurate on this occasion.

Yes, i am never wrong. :lol:


Nope. I still maintain that they are the same, possible 'envy' is a mild form of jealousy. They r the same thing at the end of the day.924 posted the two definition, and they still sound the same. I think it should be 3 devils- envy/jealous made into one. :lol:
