What these people are saying, in effect, is, “Although I am a responsible human being, I don’t believe anyone else would be.” It’s a pathetic blend of holier than thou warfare and hypocrisy to assert that you and only you would be a kind and responsible human being. ( I use the word responsible here in the sense of being capable of sane responses in relationships.)<br /><br />Envy on the other hand can be a very powerful motivating factor if instead of envy you called it or treated it as rivalry.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-79913653813985047912013-12-17T07:49:34.935+00:002013-12-17T07:49:34.935+00:00Jean: Or maybe it's a sign of something you TH...Jean: Or maybe it's a sign of something you THINK is missing from your life, which the other person somehow represents.

It is indeed bad for everyone who is involved with it, and often seems to go with a sense of false entitlement.
