envy is very bad. i’d say it’s a tossup between pride and envy.

Of the two, only envy is expressly forbidden in the Ten Commandments. In fact it is the only feeling that the Top Ten says we should eschew. Everything else is a commandment regarding action rather than thought.

It is no coincidence that envy is the feeling that statists endeavor to cultivate, even though political correctness dictates all sorts of other thoughtcrimes.
