OMG yes! I read the other day about Stroller envy, mummys who spend up to 600 dollars and more trying to outdo the other mummys while strolling in the park. I guess mankind eventually makes a game of everything. http://www.boston.com/yourlife/home/articles/2007/10/04/coveting_thy_neighbors_stroller/
I have seen it in my own family. What is rewarding to see is some (few) people that do not waste their precious god-given time on the petty aspects of human nature.

Yes, envy is an instinct that many people misunderstand. It’s important to envy success of others so that you can take that as a goal for yourself to work for. If we didn’t envy anything, we’d all just sit around and be bums.

It’s convenient to say that envy is part of human nature but I call it a bad trait.
We see the success of others reflected on us as a failure.
We can correct it with a proper education.

Yes, it is. “Envy” is considered to be a sin; but it motivates people to make an extra effort which will benefit themselves, and, as is the case with inventors and innovators, may benefit the whole of mankind.
