"Many things spark envy: ownership, status, health, youth, talent, popularity, beauty. It is often confused with jealousy because the physical reactions are identical. **The difference: the subject of envy is a thing** (status, money, health etc.). **The subject of jealousy is the behaviour of a third person**. Envy needs two people. Jealousy, on the other hand, requires three: Peter is jealous of Sam because the beautiful girl next door rings him instead." -- --- **Tags** — [[quotes]], [[envy]], [[jealousy]] **Source** — [[202308101525 — B — The Art of Thinking Clearly]]
