I don't envy any one or small group of person(s) but I do aspire to develop some of the qualities I see in others.
For example (and this is NOT a blatant ploy for mojo, so don't)
NA
Happily married, with a husband that obviously cares a lot about her. Maybe it'll happen for me one day. I haven't given up.
Optimistic, even with some of hard blows she's had dealt to her lately
Respected by her peers - I mean, come on, have you ever seen the majority of a message board just up and leave because one person was so mistreated? I haven't. Or I should say, I hadn't until a few months ago.
Those are the kinds of qualities I envy (or aspire to) when I see them in other people.
I could name many people on this board possessing qualities that bring out this kind of response in me.
But for me, it never approaches that green eyed kind of envy either.
