Inspired by Inspiron’s thread. Is there anyone you are jealous of/envy them? Have you been told that someone’s jealous of YOU?
We are all guilty… I envy all female bigwigs at work. They are friggin’ pretty and make a lot of money 
Not that I am hungry for more money, I would really like to be successful like them one day. I have plenty of time though.
Your turn!
Re: Who do you envy?
right now - people in love marriages.
Re: Who do you envy?
Nobody. Envy is too strong of an emotion and i believe i am not that negative. Not trying to judge but honestly, alot of people inspire me and i wish i could have the qualities they have but i have never wished for them to lack those qualities. So yah, nothing and nobody atleast as of now.
Re: Who do you envy?
ZK what you are describing is envy.
The negative emotion in jealousy.
Re: Who do you envy?
For the moment I envy two kinds of people
1: People who are happy and satisfied with their career choice, they seem to have a great passion and inner peace somehow.
2: People who are married close to the ideal ...
sigh!
Re: Who do you envy?
^Aww.. You know what Yes, My sister is so happy with her career choice and she is amazing at what she does. It does make me envy her a little but then again, I like what i do too. :D
@ZareenKhan - I am not jealous of anybody but they sure inspire me. It adds more to my motivation. The feeling of being envious could be light or strong, no? Mine is quite light, it's more of an inspiration.
Re: Who do you envy?
Well i don’t think so. Envy is wanting other to not have those qualities anymore and i certainly have never felt that want ever for anyone at all

^lol I dont fully agree with the definition of envy given there:p

I guess alot of people use the word envy for inspiration where as in they r quite different. I am sure most of you also don't feel envy of all these people.

Re: Who do you envy?
I wouldn't call it envy, but I get inspired by people who do ocean surfing, wind surfing, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, kayaking, ice skating, etc. They have so much energy .. and it is so relaxing and liberating. There is certain tranquility in sports, you get addicted to it. You also connect with nature.

Re: Who do you envy?
Ok thanks! Now that I really know what Envy means, I can honestly say I envy astronauts, pilots, astrophysycists, geologists, richa$$ people, AND people that live without the inlaws LOLOL
Re: Who do you envy?
LoLS!!! I can understand the inlaws part thank to my experience @ GS.
But why astronauts, pilots wagera?
Re: Who do you envy?
Of girls who have nice figures.
Re: Who do you envy?
Because that’s who i wanted to be for as long as I can remember. 
My dreams were shattered when I found out you can’t be a pilot/astronaut with bad eyesight and certain medical conditions. I was so put off, i totally gave up on it and took up an entirely different field in engineering.
Re: Who do you envy?
because in love marriages you dont have to 'force' love.
