Envy has gone from being something one is ashamed of to something one boasts in. In other words, envy is no longer concealed and carried, it is brandished on the hip in broad daylight.
"Think what a totally different morality would mean. Think of a country where people were admired for running away in battle, or where a man felt proud of double-crossing all the people who had been kindest to him. You might just as well try to imagine a country where two and two made five." — C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
We now live in the land of two and two make five. We have men in women's locker rooms and women in fighter jets. We have empathy for perverts and animosity for parents. We lionize the effeminate while we chastise the masculine. We are ass backwards and full of beans, which is not a pleasant combo.
We live in a world where envy is not only no longer a bad word, it is now actually the password.
