That is, to be jealous of someone else's attributes, be it their abilities or something material they have, means you estimate the worth of what they have very high. I think this is also the reason why people with low self esteem may feel jealous of others more often. |
Yeah, you are right. Sometimes, people feel that the other person does not deserve the benefit. This happens mostly in work/career I guess. But, we should know that World is not fair and we can't expect it to be. Sometimes it is hard to suppress the emotion when others get rewarded with least or no efforts from their side. The only solution to overcome jealousy, what I found, is to keep calm and let time pass.
