envy?...jealousy?

The question

...what is it to be jealous?

...what is it to be envious?

 Are those feelings synonymous.... feelings and emotions overlapping with respect to people, situations, belongings?

Can one be envious without being jealous... a pang, sore, wishing one were blessed with the accolades, successes, materialism witnessed around one.

To be jealous, be that a monster green eating away at the fibre of ones well-being, a feeling of entitlement, a possessiveness...sickly without reason or logic?

Be envy less dangerous and less destroying, more easily laughed off and understood for it not deep rooted and destroying of relationships?
Much easily mentioned and spoken of, for some peoples luck be based on being in the right place and at the right time or being born to a life much easier than anothers. Possibly the know how of these people to apply themselves, seek to better themselves with diligent application, their reward being fruition's and growth and progression.
And in that same instant, here be another, slogging just as hard, neither recognised nor acknowledged, same old same old, day in and day out....a resentment setting in....the green eyed monster begins to surface....jealousy....jealousy of anothers success, jealous at how easy they seem to be floating through life when it should belong to oneself, jealous at the looks of admiration an compliments bestowed on the other. Ones behaviour being influenced by the green-eyed monster...lashing out, being unreasonable and critical.
Can a human be without being envious or jealous? Are humans saintly enough to know to experience neither and if that were not possible...then which one be the better of two evils and less soul destroying and an easier burden to carry?



To be jealous be based on lack of self worth and self love...to be envious be based on self pity ...?
...a topic deep a topic worthy of much philosophising.
