One thing the most people envy on others because of the wealth they possess. What you think is it good for your mental health .One thing inorder to avoid ourself from envying is look at the poor ,they dont have even what we have so we are much more comfortable .What you think .Envying is not at all better to your health

Being envious at anyone is never good for the health. It makes you think too much of things you need to do to be like someone whom you can never be. It's quite stressing. We know stress could affect very well our mental ability, might as well the physical ones.

You're right. Envy is one of the seven deadly sins. It could also destroy our well-being. Wanting something which isn't yours or couldn't be yours is actually a sin. You should just be happy with what you have and work your way from there. If you want is a camera phone and all you have is just a GSM type, you can appreciate your current and save up to get what you want.

Its not just a question of health.Envy and jealousy are the main factors that contribute to man`s downfall.Envying someone because he is successful and rich will only lead to frustration ans cause tension and anger which ultimately do lead to physical illnesses like high blood pressure,diabetes,hypertension and heart problems. We should not envy a person who has tasted success in life but try to learn how he became a success and emulate the hard work and the good points that made him a success.

Envy of any kind is bad for health. When you try to compare yourself with others you run the risk of loosing your self esteem in its totality. There are people who are successful and there are people who are failures. But we should not jump into conclusions about their lives. We should compare our yesterday with our today as that's the best comparison one can always do. Estimating your own progress and always having a back up plan is the key to success. When we become jealous, we waste our time. When we are mad, we waste our time. In addition to that we waste our time in vain comparisons. If we start taking good care of ourselves there shouldn't be any problem at all.
