Is jealousy an utter dislike of someone or something because you don't want them to enjoy or have something (like misery loves company, kinda?) while envy is a dislike of someone or something because you want what they have?<br /><br />I just don't get what makes these two things different.<br /><br />Anyway, I do think that being jealous says more about the person who has these feelings than it does about the target of such jealousy. <br /><br />It reminds me of how so many people I know talk bad about Paris Hilton -- calling her a spoiled brat, for example, and I beg to differ -- I think that all of that negative energy that they spend on putting her down would be better served by using her as inspiration to want to build an empire for one's own family or to find success in whatever it is that brings them joy.<br /><br />In short...don't be a hater, instead congratulate!<br /><br />~Nicole<br />Blog: <a href="http://www.madlabpost.com/" rel="nofollow">The Madlab Post</a><br /><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/MadlabPost" rel="nofollow">@MadlabPost</a> on TwitterNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08965945636486620938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5929885462293344093.post-53797771360600748162012-04-11T13:44:42.491-07:002012-04-11T13:44:42.491-07:00I'm not typically the jealous type.

Well, I might be a wee bit jealous of those women who can eat anything they want and never gain an ounce, especially if they also happen to never have bad hair days. Wait, I think that's envy, not jealousy.
