Envy for Dummies

Hey there! So, when we talk about "envy," we're talking about feeling a little bit of jealousy or wanting something that someone else has. You know when you see your friend with a really cool toy and you wish you had it too? That's a bit like feeling envious. It's like when you admire something that someone else has, and you really want it for yourself.

But, it's important to remember that envy isn't always a good thing. It can make us feel unhappy or upset because we don't have what someone else does. It can also make us act in ways that aren't very nice, like being mean to the person we're envious of. That's not cool, right?

We should try to remember that everyone has their own special things and that it's okay if we don't have the same stuff as someone else. It's okay to want nice things, but we should focus on being happy with what we have and not let envy make us feel bad. It's kind of like when you're playing a game, and your friend gets a cool power-up. Instead of feeling envious, you can cheer them on and be happy for them, just like they would do for you. We should try to think of envy as a little green monster that makes us feel bad, but we can keep it under control by being happy for others and grateful for what we have. Sound good? Cool! Let me know if you have any more questions about envy.
