Envy sucks as an emotion. It typically makes us miserable, and it can also make us want to make others miserable. But envy can also be used for good, particularly if we struggle to make changes, to face fears, or to take up new things.

Envy usually occurs when a person lacks a superior quality, achievement, or possession someone else has and either desires it or wishes they didn’t have it.
