Description

Source: Wikipedia In Roman mythology, Invidia was the sense of envy or jealousy, who might be personified, for strictly literary purposes, as a goddess, a Roman equivalent to Nemesis in Greek mythology. The Romans used one word, invidia, to cover the range of two Greek words, Nemesis and Phthonus. Invidia is one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and becomes more concrete, invariably depicted as a woman, in Late Gothic and Renaissance iconography. ... Envy (also called invidiousness) may be defined as an emotion that "occurs when a person lacks anotherâ??s superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it." It can also derive from a sense of low self-esteem that results from an upward social comparison threatening a person's self image: another person has something that the envier considers to be important to have. If the other person is perceived to be similar to the envier, the aroused envy will be particularly intense, because it signals to the envier that it just as well could have been him or her who had the desired object. ~*~ The first image in a series, I think. Want to have a different take on the seven deadly sins...more of a portrait-style series...those are always fun... Anyway. Hope you guys had a good weekend. =) All my love, and a wee bit more! Thanks for viewing, comments welcome as always.
