Envy makes people do one of the two things:
either putting down the object of envy directly, or deliberately putting up
other people in their presence, especially when in a group.
Forget methods for a minute! It is just so
sad that there is that need to feel envious.
I remember the simple question we were
asked in school. How do you shorten a line without touching it? And the answer
was, by drawing a bigger line next to it. Very positive!
But in this case, it is hardly positive.
The method is the same but intentions so different. It is really the intention
that determines all action and outcome. And the origin of any intention is
either positive or negative.
Simple! If we kill to save or protect a
life, that is positive. But if we are overly generous but inwardly not well
wishers, whatever we do lacks purity, because the intention lacks purity.
Purity is simple. And positive
intention is simple, too. There are no layers of deviousness there, nor
required either.
