Victor Hugo said: “The wicked envy and hate; it is their way of admiring.” What is Creator’s perspective?

This is a very perceptive observation encapsulated in a pithy accounting. With a great economy of words, this cuts to the heart of the matter in what gives rise to such dark feelings among those with jealousy and envy. It is revealing because it is reflecting the fact those who have strong such feelings, to the degree they begin to hate someone they envy, are, in effect, showing their true colors, that there is something missing from their makeup, and the fact they are indulging a very low human emotion creates a potential danger as well as being a diagnostic indicator. The emotions of jealousy and envy are particularly common among individuals who are disconnected from their higher self to such a degree they fall on a spectrum of narcissism from an inability to feel and express love. This void within is disconcerting because the person will be chronically unsatisfied and will feel uneasy and unsettled. They know something is missing, but not truly what that is, and become desperate to cover up and surmount their feelings of emptiness. Because they know deep inside it is a kind of inferiority, many times they will end up overcompensating. In the absence of love, all they have to work with is their ego and, in defense of the self in its weakened condition, will look for ways to criticize, belittle, and diminish others unfairly in order to drag them down a peg or two. So, in a sense, it is in fact evidence they recognize the superiority within the object of their hatred, because it is that superiority giving rise to the envy spawning that hatred, and the character flaw they suffer from divine disconnection, leaves them without inner resources to express admiration for someone who is exceptional, but rather must find fault to at least try to drag them down to their own level. And that can become a dangerous game that backfires and will always give rise to a karmic debt that will come due at some point, if not in the current life in another lifetime, and might be quite painful in its consequences.
