We can take something positive from it and pursue the genuine value that we recognize in others and realize we want. We can work harder to afford something, pursue a career, reconnect or deepen our relationship with family and friends, acquire or hone a trait, etc. Or we can feed the beast of envy and seek to take away values from others. If we let our envy fester rather than take positive action to achieve our values, we come to resent those who have what we want.
