I heard someone mentioning envy as a form of suffering. I haven't thought much of that recently but it might be a huge obstacle in some cases. How to serve others when one is envious of those to serve?
My take on it is that everybody at our current stage of third density development is suffering a LOT. So there isn't really anything to be envious or jealous about since everybody is having a shoddy life when only looking at surface things like that. At first it might seem that someone with a lot of money, fame, social status, lots of friends, stellar career, a lovely family, health and good looks is someone to envy. But it isn't! Even that kind of "success" totally sucks compared to fourth density.
I actually like materialistic luxury and things like that, but I see it as a unique expression of creativity rather than something to "possess" and derive a sense of self from. Sure, personal possessions as a means of expressing individuality, I think that's fine, but again everybody can do that in fourth density. But then what about spiritual people who are content and happy while oneself is feeling miserable? Even then I would say that envy is unnecessary since everybody is ultimately One, and we all will reach Christ consciousness or what to call it.
