#LucasBeanWhy Trump Can't Keep Obama's Name Out Of His Mouth
....In 2009, researcher Niels van de Ven at Tilburg University published a landmark study on envy. His finding was that envy is not one emotion. It is two completely different ones that just happen to share a name.
The first is benign envy. This is the envy that makes you better. When you feel benign envy toward someone, you are motivated to work harder, improve yourself, and close the gap between where you are and where they are. It is painful but productive. It points you forward.
The second is malicious envy. This is the envy that makes you dangerous. When you feel malicious envy toward someone, you are not motivated to improve. You are motivated to destroy. You want to pull them down to your level because you have accepted, somewhere deep inside, that you will never reach theirs.
The difference between the two comes down to one thing. Whether you believe the gap can be closed.
Benign envy says the gap is closable. Keep going.
Malicious envy says the gap is permanent. Burn it down.
