💯👍 *_Envy is used as a motivational tool in a secular society._*

[@aleksandryaroslav1289]

I absolutely love how Thomas Hibbs ends the talk, because I was already thinking, well how do I overcome the envy?

[@yashmin786]

I find you have to admit to yourself the moment you feel this towards anyone. Most cases you know whom your envious of and to go against your own ego to now help those individuals to achieve their goals will cause the envy to disappear, with no intent to compete However, boastful individuals can cause others to become envious as they make others feel unblessed. So humility has a major role to play.

The solution to envy: 1) Gratitude 2) Generosity and 3) Compassion.

I would probably add: maturation of the soul. A kind of evolution beyond adolescent fantasies

[@htmlfive4757]

I'm truly grateful to Thomas Hibbs, Hamza Yusuf and those behind the scenes for producing this enlightening and practical discussion. God bless you all.

[@WalidMadrid]

Great talk!! Very nurturing. Thank you very much. A hope you do a follow up series on virtues.

[@RayOfHope8]

❤️❤️❤️ I am really enjoying these conversations. Specially the way popular literary or biblical stories can be seen in different ways. The fundamental themes underlying those stories.

[@Anna-tj7mp]

An attitude of gratitude is the antidote to envy. And now I think of it, other deadly sins too...

[@julianajones4022]

In Judaic tradition the evil eye is seen as intrinsically part of the human condition and not from external evil angels. Each person has one good eye and one evil. We are encouraged to look out through our good eye.

In Islamic view, we have the term " ghibtah" that good sister of envy ( hasad)
