INTRODUCTION
Envy is the desire for what others have status, lifestyles, possessions,
characteristics or relationships. It is a strong desire for something that
another person has. Envy damages relationships, disrupt teams and
undermines performance. Envy is difficult to manage because it hard
to admit that we harbour such a socially unacceptable emotion. Envy
is symptom of low self-esteem. The subject assesses his own value in
comparison to others and not satisfied. Envy is positive as well as
negative type.

They suggest that beware of linguistic triggers and careful about your
use of language because language play a important role in people life.
When you feeling envious, stop for a minute and realize about
yourself what you have? Avoid the activities of comparisons which
encourage the envy. They said that when a person feeling envious
firstly asked yourself what it is about someone else that you are
envious of.
CONCLUSION
Envy is opposite of love because love celebrates the good of another
and envy is seeks to destroy another in order benefit oneself. Envy is
“the most precious daughter of the devil because it follows his
footsteps by hindering good and promoting evil”. Envy has a sister
named Malice, and the two usually work together. For we ourselves
are also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and
pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. It
causes inward pain when we see others succeed. Malice produces
inward satisfaction when we see others fail.
