Yesterday I was in Mumbai for some official purpose. Day before, I was talking about expectations and efforts. Here is some more on that topic. Expectation is the result of ambition and ambition is because of vision. Vision develops with thinking, seeing the world around, reading and meeting people. When we develop ambition it leads to envious nature. By definition "Envy is an emotion that someone feels when a peer has a possesion or something of value that is something you wish to have. Envy often cause low self-esteem or low self confidence". Envy at certain point leads to jealousness and fear too.
Envy is good to keep ambitions live and work for that. We as human have basic character of envy with any thing we love or hate. Envy can be segregated into two categories i.e. i. Positive Envy and ii. Negative Envy. Positive envy (PE) means we develop envy with some one and work to surpass him without damaging him where as Negative Envy (NE) means not only surpassing the other but also harming him to such an extent that he never becomes challenge in future. Although both kind of envy is the real fire to achieve the ambition but NE is dangerous to the society, family and the world at large. If we look at the history all ambitious people in this world were envy of some one every close to them and mostly were NEs. In Ramayan, Rani Kekayi, wife of Raja Dashrath, was envy of Lord Ram because she found him a big envy in achieving her ambition and that is why she used the Commitment (Var) given by Raja Dasrath to not only put her son Bharat on throne but also to send the Rama to jungle for 14 years with the intention that by that time her son would be powerful enough to tackle any challenge in future. Later Duryodhana also used the dice game for sending the Pandavas, the powerful cousins whoi were ruling Indraprastha successfully, to jungle for 12 years with 1 year of Agyatvas with the intention that his army would find them during the Agyatvas and extend the period by another 12 years. During Mughal period also the enviousness was totally negative where they believed in finishing off the threat at any cost without considering the relationship. In fact in most cases people are envy their close relatives, neighbours or friends. In present days also the politicians not only play the tactics to over come the opponent but also using all weapons to finish off the threat in their ambition forever. The ruling parties use every government agency against the opponenets to silent them and making putting the opponents in a situation where they can never come out of that The same thing is being followed in corporate world. Corporates not only try to surpass their competitors but also see that they finish for ever so no one challenge them in future. Such negative envy is wrong for the civilised society. In fact terrorism is also the result of NE which has become the biggest challenge for the whole world. If we look in deep, terrorists, globally were created and nurtured by some one to fulfill the ambition in negative way. We should develop PE in the new generation and teach that to make the line bigger, don't cut the others' line. Enviousness is good for every body, it works as a tonic to keep going ahead. Those who don't have ambition, would never be envy of any one, but this would lead to no fun in life, no growth, no happiness, no Sadness.
