Being thankful is ultimate medicine for envy-ness?

Dear humanity around the world...

Do you ever feel so ambitious for something or maybe being someone for what you dont have? This term of sentence called ‘envy’. Dictionary.com said that envy in noun is a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.

It’s human for somebody (as a human) want to have, possess, or become someone else that better-off than him/her. In Economics, we study Utility Curve, that told us rational human being will choose higher option that give him bigger utility. Everyone of us must realize it. When we have no money, we want money, so they looking for income. When we have money we want food. When our stomach is full we want house to live in. When we settled we need somone to accompany us. When we have family we want to show to the world who are we. We want more and more.

But what in my thought is, what’s make somebody want to be better of. I mean, why dont somebody just sit down and relax in his house than searching for fame by doing something? So i am thinking, and the answer is the fuel of all hierarchy is ENVY-ness.

A college lazy student that study in the high-rank university (assumed that all of his friend are genius) will try to standardize his brain to all of his friend. Because in rational, this boy will fell so discomfort if he can’t reach the same level by in example; study harder. Why he become genius for later on? Because he is study harder for the sake of ENVY. He envys his friends that already reach the genius level.

Now imagine that a very lazy student (because there’s no stupid student) enter the low-rank university (assumed that all of his friend are lazy too). I guarantee that this student will not reach the same level as if he enter the high-rank university, because is he has no one to envy of.
Ladies and gentlemen, ENVY is really a fuel to change our hierarchy. There’s a lot of facts you can find is the real life. You can see it from working environment, why somebody one to obtain higher position.

But, there’s a proverb that say ‘Being thankful is ultimate medicine for envy-ness’. ENVY is the fuel for changing hierarchy. Why it need medicine? By thankful and medicize this envy, how can somebody move to better hierarchy? I just thinking there’s something wrong with this proverb. My opinion is thankful is not the medicine. For the reason, envy doesn’t need medicine. We should have envy-ness in ourself. Without it people never developed himself. But (i’m thinking again), a very high, ambitious, envy, makes you becoming a bad guy. You even legalize all your way to get your goal. People might steal or rob when they want money. People might bribe when they want a higher position. And a student, might cheat during the test, when they want high score. So, why this thankfulness is said to be medicine, because it stop a chance for somebody to do a bad behavior. It stop a criminal to rob money. It makes people think rationally. Mm, it just my opninion and my shallow thoughts. You can suggest your idea or correction in the comment section.

So people, be thankful!
