At times even when we condition our minds not to compare ourselves to others and then feel that envy, we tend to fall victim to external similar comparison done by the people in our social circle and unluckily for us that might cause us to partake in some subtle comparisons, but I think that the actions we take when we are envious of someone else is what makes our envious side good or bad.
