"Envy" By Menander

"Everything is destroyed by its own particular vice: the destructive power resides within. Rust destroys iron, moths destroy clothes,  the worm eats away the wood;  but greatest of all evils is envy, impious inhabitant of corrupt souls, which ever was, is, and shall be a consuming disease."          Menander (342 BC-292 BC)


Menander is so right.  I have seen the practice of uncontrollable envy destroy friendships and other types of relationships.  It is definitely a human weakness.  Intelligent men and women are not immune from it.  RD
