Precis Paragraph year 2010:
Of all the characteristics of ordinary human nature envy is the most unfortunate; not only does the envious person wish to inflict misfortune and do so whenever he can with impunity, but he is also himself rendered unhappy by envy. instead of deriving pleausre from what he has, he derives pain from what others have. if he can, he deprives others of their advantages, which to him is as desirable as as it would be to secure the same advantages himself. if this passion is allowed to run riot it becomes fatal to all excellence,and even the most useful exercise of exceptional skill. why should a medical man go to see his patients in a car when the labourer has to walk to his work? why should the scientifc investigator be allowed to spend his time in a warm room when others have to face the inclemency of the elements? why should a man who possesses some rare talent of great importance to the world be saved fromt he drudgery of his own housework? to such questions envy finds no answer. fortunately, however, there is in human nature a compensating passion, namely that of admiration. whosoever wishes to increase human happiness must wish to increase admiration and to diminish envy. what cure is there for envy? for the saint there is the cure of selflessness, though even in the case of saints envy of other saints is by no means impossible. but, leaving saints out of account, the only cure of envy in the case of ordinary men and women is happiness, and the difficulty is that envy is itself a terrible obstacle to happiness. but the envious man may say: 'what is the good of telling me that the cure of envy is happiness? i cannot find happiness while i continue to feel envy, and you tell me that i cannot cease to be envious until i find happiness.' but real life is never so logical as this. merely to realize the cause of one's own envious feeling is to take a long step towards curing them.

Precis:
Jealousy is an undesirable attribute of human nature. He wishes to strike bad luck to others. He yearns to have what others possess. He wish to rob others to secure his ego. If his behaviour is permitted to continue then it will be detrimental for others. Admiration increases happiness and decreases jealousy.Humanitarianism is the only remedy for the masses to overcome this hurdle in the way of happiness. On the contrary, envious person is not interested for its cure.Due to absence of happiness he is unwilling to cease jealousy. Realization of basic root cause of envious is a major step towards its cure.
