COMPLEX, ENVY AND HOW TO OVERCOME IT....
We live in a society which tends to equate our worth with things we have achieved, or with the things we own or have own for ourselves. The main trouble with this way of thinking is that it encourages neurotic pursuit of material things and achievements in the hope that the more we own, the more worth we will have. Envy often begins with such a misconception.
Normally it has been seen that any individuals neighbour possessing more than he does, he begins of getting a complex and feelings of envy. He find it extremely difficult to live with the idea that his neighbour has more worth than he has.
But that is a false notion, for every human being has inherent value by virtue of the fact that he or she is a human person. Our achievements and possessions are not the primary sources of our worth; they make us feel important, but they cannot ultimately give us worth. We came to this planet earth empty handed and likewise we have to leave this planet open handed. If this is true, then we must come to the terms with the ultimate source of our worth and sense of dignity.
If we can have a sense of peace regarding our inherent worth as people, then when we see the possessions and achievements of others we need not respond with a tired and intensely uncomfortable feeling of envy which leads us into all kinds of frenzied activity and ill feeling because we have not come face to face with our own worth.
De-emphasise the value of the envied objects either for yourself or for the person who possess them.
