Envy
Last semester in my reading class, my professor asked if one of us would like to share something we had written in our journal from spring break. No one wanted to until one student raised her hand and said, “I’ll read mine.” The student essay jarred us into wakefulness. She described her trip to Cuba with personal encounters and she would read the essay as if every word mattered. I turned around and could tell that others students were stunned as I was. The way she wrote her essay and describe it gave all the students envy. More than any of the other deadly sins, Americans today are guilty of envy. Envy takes place in movies, books, and in society. Envy is a feeling of discontent
