' Through the envy of the devil, evil entered the world.' Whenever jealousy or envy is present. Evil also is. That's why Cain murdered Abel, that's why the Romans conquered. It's the cause of many wars, the want of what another has for yourself by any means necessary. Some people want to pull down the object of their jealousy, so they know longer feel inadequate. They hate themselves too much to improve themselves.

Envious people are competitive and extremely self loathing, because of this they are unable to offer love or any decent form of positive human character. Envy can lead a friend to steal another's husband, a sister to poison another and a lover to kill their lovers, lover.

It's a dangerous emotion to harbour, and those who do are ticking time bombs. They come into your life to only take, a envious person is handicapped to give. How can they give when they feel the world is already unfair to them, by blessing others with the blessings they deserve ?

That's how they view the world, through the lenses of self pity. In their view they are helpless and victimised, therefore they have to plunder from the one they perceive to have it all.

Wicked seeds produce satanic fruits. The Envious person is a master of disguise, they hide behind a wonderful appearance. Trick you into believing they love you and they are on your side. It's all a lure to plunder and use you. They are easy to detect, they are never there for you when you need them and shudder at your good news. Whenever they can they seek to use what you have. Or always comment on your wonderful life with disdain.

A woman's story:
There was this girl I met at university, she seemed to lack confidence and I identified with that. I was very timid in my younger years. She dressed badly and was very awkward. She said crazy and out of the wall things so people didn't want to associate with her.

Plus she was unhygienic, she also hardly changed her weave. She could wear the same wig for months, to the point where it seemed she had a nest growing on her head. I didn't know it at first, but I realised she always lied and was always copying me. The way I walked, my hand gestures, wanted to be friends with my friends, my words, style and everything I did. It was very frightening. When asked she would deny it. Until one day she was forced to admit she was doing it.

She said she saw everything I had and wanted to take it, she wanted to destroy my life and she wanted all the fantastic traits other people had so she could become a fantastic human being. I'll come back to her, they always do. This was the jealousy in her speaking. Previously she had warned me that if I got a boyfriend, she will steal him by doing all the things I wouldn't.

She would always try and put me down, as well as lift me up at the same time to find information to help her sick plot. Thankfully I was watchful and figured her out, before her plan to steal over my friends, boyfriends and do her false identity theft. She was still copying me after I cut of the friendship and followed my other friends home, scaring them and laughing for pleasure.

Thankfully she never had the chance to do anything too drastic to me. She seemed so sweet, she hid behind a thick veil of deception. "

Imagine were this could have ended. How many stories have you heard about the crimes of envious people. Envious people ruin the lives of those they envy if they are allowed in, don't let it be you. A facade always slips from time to time. Be vigilant and on the watch, they seek to devour you like a lion. Surround yourself with people who love to see others shine. It's not your job to help the envious soul. Don't buy into the pity, and loose the glorious life you deserve in the process.
