Envy has remained, perhaps, the last sin that we prefer to hide. We confess pride, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony and even lust, but envy still remains a secret and shameful vice, although there is no person who would not experience this painful feeling.
Envy has remained, perhaps, the last sin that we prefer to hide. We confess pride, anger, laziness, greed, gluttony and even lust, but envy still remains a secret and shameful vice, although there is no person who would not experience this painful feeling. How to recognize envy? What is the nature of this experience? Why do we more often envy the representatives of the same sex with us and much less often — the representatives of the opposite? English writer Joseph Epstein is looking for answers to these questions in a new book from the Seven Deadly Sins series.
