“If our own potential is blocked and has found no creative channels in which to flow, then what we feel in the presence of another is envy. We may not recognize it as envy—only a perplexing pain or deadness. We will have no praise of another—no joy in another. Instead, we will turn away and in subtle ways seek to destroy the other. This is why we cannot get on with the business of loving unless we are discovering our own gift.”
– Gordon Cosby in Journey Inward, Journey Outward
