A conversation about the difference between envy and jealousy - some resources:

From a needs perspective, being in a state of envy, jealousy and resentment is the polar opposite of feeling safety, tranquility and equanimity. http://intentionalworkplace.com/2011/07/07/envy-jealousy-resentment-%E2%80%93-the-%E2%80%9Ccomparison%E2%80%9D-emotions-at-work/

According to Georgetown University psychologist W. Gerrod Parrott, Ph.D., envy occurs when a person lacks another person's superior quality, achievement, or possession, and desires it—or wishes that the other person lacked it. Jealousy, by contrast, occurs in the context of a close relationship when a person fears losing an important other to a rival—in particular, losing a relationship that is important to one's sense of self. From Psychology Today http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/199401/devastating-difference

Easy way to remember the difference between envy and jealousy: Envy is the emotion when you want something that someone else has. Jealousy is the emotion when you fear something you have or someone you are with have might be taken away from you.  http://www.diffen.com/difference/Envy_vs_Jealousy

“To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is: a dissatisfaction with self.” ~Joan Didion
