Jealousy
Why we covet things is a personal choice, and what value we place on items is based on our desires. However, what happens when the object of our desire is denied? We try even harder to obtain what we cannot have. What happens if we do gain the item, then? We try even harder to prevent someone from taking it away. How much does this cost us—in time, money, and relationships? Jealousy and envy take us down paths that may not be good for us.
