@synick ! 😍
Oh my, my ... what a great comment you left me here. Thank you so much my dear. You have managed to extract the most important elements of this entire topic: the ignoble feeling that envy elicits (schadenfreude), the decision of whether or not to nurture it and most important of all, the understanding of our uniqueness, which ultimately should lead us to see others not as superior or better than us, but as role models!
It is a sad thing, but I cannot disagree with you with regard to the fact that many times virtuous people are dominated. However, I believe there is also another element that takes place here: People's personalities. Gosh, you might have just given me an idea for a post! 😉
I know your first statement was a joke :P
You too have a lovely weekend. It is nice to see you around. Thank you for stopping by :*
You're welcome. And if you will really create something on peoples personalities, I'll definitely want to see it.
For the beginning story, is it your fiction? I ask because of the character that coincidentally have your name.
No my dear, that is a theater play (my favourite one, actually). It was written by Arthur Miller. It is set in the 1600's and largely discusses the superstitious beliefs of that time. There is a movie which was adapted from it in the 90's, which I also recommend. Here is the trailer for you.
Ow, ok ... glad to hear you would be interested to read a post about personalities :)
