Envy is wanting what someone else has. </strong></p>\n<p>A classic example for this would be a romantic relationship: </p>\n<p>If someone is trying to make a move on your girlfriend, then what you feel is jealousy <strong>since you are worried that she will be taken away from you</strong>. <em>She is your girlfriend and by extension somewhat yours. :)</em></p>\n<p>On the other hand, if you are single then what you feel is called envy. You are envious. You want <strong>to covet</strong> someone who already belongs to someone else.. </p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"f357qn2zq","appParentAuthor":"adenijiadeshina","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
