Envy is a self-defense function. 

Envy is a feeling given to man by nature. Every child feels envy, every child does not want to share what he has. Interestingly, when children envy, everyone reacts normally, and when adults envy, they perceive it as something negative. In fact, everyone has some envy, someone can just hide the feeling of envy, and someone can't hide it.

The feeling of envy is the instinct given to man by nature, and every normal person has it. With this feeling, people try to protect what belongs to them, that is, a kind of envy is a function of self-defense to survive. Imagine that if a person did not have a sense of envy, people living in the ancient times would not survive, because if people of that time had dispelled their envy and shown their generosity and kindness to others, they would not have survived, would have died of hunger. Therefore, in those days only those who were strong and managed to preserve what belonged to them could survive.

Envy can manifest itself in two main ways: to be sad because of someone else's happiness and to rejoice in someone else's misfortune. Since envy is perceived in society as a negative feature, everyone tries to hide a sense of envy, but in fact envy is not a harmful feeling, and envy is a function of self-defense to survive. For example, people always laugh at the fact that someone falls to the ground, although if you think about it, there is nothing funny that a person falls to the ground and suffers, but the fact is that if someone falls to the ground on the street, everyone laugh at it. This fact once again proves that people are internally happy when some negative accident happens to someone, and outwardly try to show the opposite. In fact, inner laughter at someone's fall does not mean joy to the suffering of this person, but the joy that this bad case did not happen to the person himself. Also, a person saddened by someone else's happiness, this means that he saddened by why this happy event did not happen to him. This means that envy is an instinct given to man by nature, but as consciousness develops, envy is hidden, and when consciousness is weak, envy manifests itself in a rough form. Sometimes envy is mistaken for betrayal, for example, when someone does bad things and hurts a person, they call that envy. However, this is not the case with envy. Envy is a person's attitude to his own property, and betrayal is when a person claims someone else's property.
