It's a fine way to explain it - if we are more aware of what you have been blessed with, one would feel less envy. Although we all have different gifts don't we? I could feel envy about something you have, admire you, and coime to terms with it. I needn't attempt to steal, reduce your value in any way - so envy isn't always bad - it depends what one does with it.

Jealousy on the other hand, is something that is usually bad. It is the fear something will be taken from you, or you might lose something (often it is rooted in the perception that there is something you don't have which eg. the other person will leave you to get somewhere else). Envy often lies at the root of jealousy, but jeoulousy exporesses itself in insecure feelings, and nasty actions to control others by some kind of blackmail.

I try never to allow jealousy to over come me. Insecure feelings of fear is a good indication what you experience is jeoulsy and not just envy.
