Meetings were held in the Women Support Centers of

Envy is one of
the six internal enemies of human being (lust, anger, illusion, greed, envy,
madness). There are some forms of envy: black, white, depressive, personal,
social.
Person is
always "obliged" to parents for the first manifestation of envy,
since they, wishing the good and explaining their child how to be more accurate
and capable, always hold others up as an example.
From Latin envy (livor) is
translated as "blue". People say "turned blue with envy".
In China, envious person is determined by eyes, and envy is called
"red-eye disease".
Envy can turn someone else's
success into the sense of inferiority, and other’s joy - into discontent. Envy
is a negative emotion and harms human health: increases blood pressure,
quickens pulse, and disrupts the digestive system. Before you envy anyone, we
should ask yourself: "Do I want to do harm to my health?"
At the meetings, women, together
with the psychologist, tried to learn how to overcome envy...

where is its mystery, how to make a loved one happy, how to create harmony in
the family...

"recipes", but when the meeting participants begin to think together,
discuss, classify – there appears some kind of universal formula for happiness
...
