How do you deal with envy? Can you ever rid yourself of it completely?

You know what? Envy's never been my thing.. I have often admired people and what they have, i.e I admire women who have lovely thick hair,  I admire tall people etc etc... but not envy and def not envy of possessions...

The root of envy is desire. A good friend told me once that "not all desire leads to human suffering, but at the root of all human suffering is desire."* Desire cannot be eliminated, but we can choose to desire the correct things, like, cultivating the best parts of ourselves rather than observing with envy the things which belong to others.

I can't recall the last time I was envious.

Humility and being truly thankful for what we have, is the antidote to envy.

I'm angry and envious I did not ask this question before you did.

I don't deal with envy very well. I bury it deep down without really dealing with it.

not very good, i can get pretty jealous of people
