DO NOT ENVY

You may be blessed with every good trait and all good fortune. But the one serious blemish of envy is enough to cast you into hell-fire.  Envy makes hell for the man who nourishes that feeling in his present life as well as hereafter. None has grown richer by envying. No one has lost anything by not envying.

A simple truth, but we forget it when we see another's good fortune! Alas, says the poet, that so many men purposelessly entertain envious thoughts, which only cause pain to them without achieving anything!
