> What's the right approach to envy?
My T told me that the difference between envy and jealousy is that with envy you want to destroy the happiness that the other person has, via acquiring (or merely destroying) the source of that happiness.
With jealousy, you merely want a piece, or perhaps all of their source of happiness.

Approaching envy is to approach incivility. To take something from another. In the USA there's the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Perhaps the pursuit of happiness at another's expense is not exactly what the founding fathers had in mind.

and since this is Declan
... because the story will no doubtedly unfold in a very interesting saga... of human motivation, the thwarting factors, and yellowtail sushi.
If it's sushi. steal it. there are more fish in the sea. If it's something much more precious, think twice. All that glimmers is not gold.
