Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we

Summary

This quote suggests that our feelings of envy towards others often outlive the joy or contentment they feel. It implies that envy is a futile or self-destructive emotion, as it tends to make us believe that others possess a better life or more happiness than us. However, the quote reminds us that the happiness we perceive in others is temporary, while our envy continues to linger. In essence, it serves as a cautionary reminder to focus on our own lives and find contentment within ourselves rather than constantly comparing ourselves to others.
