And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.
Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless — like chasing the wind.
