envy = someone upset that you have or APPEAR to have MORE then them = weight
jealousy = someone not wanting you to have what you own at all = try to create "without"/desolation/destitute
sorry this is so old, here's the old paradox:
remember the Greek paradox about envy and jealousy. both were able to bless each other. they are both people, but one is jealousy and the other is envy. and a genie walks across their path and tells them they can have a wish after crossing into a new world, but the first one in will end up blessing the one behind with double portions. so, they both argue but decide that envy goes in first. envy realizes that jealousy will own twice the amount and decides to pull out one eye. jealousy thinks he's getting double portions, but ends up blind, b/c jealousy was left with double of envy. jealousy blinded by envy.
You would be interesting to meet in real life. However, it would be a frightening experience. 😆
