Hi Merri
It's called envy, isn't it? (And it's a big thing. It's the reason Lucifer rebelled against God.) And envy is hard to see as such, it's more a darkening of the field with a feeling of cold insignificance. But everything is turned bad by envy. Compare it to gratitude. Not to be confused with jealousy. Central to the human condition IMO. What can you do about it? I dunno, refuse to feed it? Never had much luck myself.
