Deadly Sins

Envy: a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck.

I think envy is something I feel and can relate to the most. It’s very easy to make comparisons in our society and want the success other are having. This is evidently a dangerous trap to fall in as it makes the situation worse. If someone has found success through the hard work they put in behind the scenes then they deserve the fruits of their labor. If someone is naturally talented or happens to be “lucky” then good for them, there is little reason to hold negative emotions toward them.

I took a picture of holding an apple because when I think of envy, I think of apples, and not just because envy apples exist. I see an apple as a symbol of the fruits of one’s labor someone else may possess.
