Another obstacle on the path to wealth is envy. To envy someone means to be annoyed by someone else’s success. There is nothing constructive about envy at all. In fact, it has a very strong, destructive element. A person’s psyche works in such a way, that if they envy something that another has they try to devalue it in every way possible. This is the logic of being “green with envy”: “I envy what he has. I don’t have it and probably never will have. He is no better than I am. That thing he has can’t be that good then. Perhaps I don’t need it after all.”
