Historically envy was considered an undesirable quality to have. In recent decades envy has been encouraged in many societies through advertising, the internet and more recently through the social media phenomena. They even have the term social media envy which means when we are resentful to the lifestyle or aspects of someone else's life as seen through the eyes of social media. We often don’t even know that person or whether they are truly happy and satisfied. Envy can lead to a person feeling lonely, anxious and/or depressed.
