You mean "... *envious* of people ... "!!! :-)

I once explained the difference between "envious" and "jealous" to my 
wife Victoria, by means of the following parable:

Suppose that you were walking down that the street one day, engaged in 
conversation with our good friend Jeff Newmiller [1] and you chanced to 
look up and catch sight of me, locked in a hot passionate embrace with 
[e.g.] Tessa Thompson.  *You* (Victoria) would be jealous.  Jeff would 
be envious.

cheers,

Rolf

[1] Obviously I used the name of a bloke who is actually in my wife's 
and my circle of acquaintances when I first inflicted this parable upon 
my wife.  Also I am "of course" assuming here that Jeff is heterosexual.
