"Nothing sharpens sight like envy."
Thomas Fuller
17th century British clergy/author
Depending on Mr. Fuller's definition of "sight" . . . maybe.
Yes if the implication is that the envious are, as a result of being envious, more determined to achieve whatever it is they are envious of.
However more often I find that envy leads to too much focus on the accomplishment of others, rather than concentrating on achieving one's own goals.
What about you?
Envy paralyzes otherwise capable and rational people, leaving them incapable of functioning as they could and should.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it can but not that it always will. All of us are subject to envy but not all of us act in a negative way as a result of being envious.
