Envy is the pain of another's gain.
Jealousy is the fear of your own loss.

One looks outward with longing, the other looks sideways with suspicion.


Envy says, "I wish I had what you have." Jealousy says, "I wish you had nothing at all."

Envy says, "I wish I had that."
Jealousy says, "I wish you didn't."

Envy asks, 'Why not me?'
Jealousy asks, 'Why also you?'"


Envy is admiration twisted by lack, jealousy is love twisted by fear.

Envy doesn’t require a loathing painful emotion, but jealously does. Also, people tend to be jealous of the person. Envy can be more diffuse. I’m envious you went on vacation, for example. Maybe a little jealously, maybe a lot.
Jealousy = envy * revenge
