Envy

Envy is one of the seven deadly sins, but that doesn't stop people from becoming jealous.

For Athletes 
Author Unknown
There are little eyes upon you,
And they're watching night and day;
There are little ears that quickly
Take in every word you say;
There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do;
And a little boy who's dreaming
Of the day he'll be like you.
You're the little fellow's idol,
You're the wisest of the wise,
In his little mind about you,
No suspicions ever rise;
He believes in you devoutly,
Hold, that all you say and do,
He will say and do, in your way
When he's grown up like you.
There's a wide-eyed little fellow,
Who believes you're always right,
And his ears are always open,
And he watches day and night;
You are setting an example
Every day in all you do,
For the little boy who's waiting
To grow up to be like you.

I personally am envious of the athletes who perform well. They are always so strong and are able to do so much more than I can. 

They are also more admired by people. No one really cares about the people who are the scholars and learners. Those things (particularly at lone peak) are common place and do not show on the outside appearance of the person. They love the people who can run 70 yards for a touch down, who can make a three point shot with ease on the basketball court, and who can hit a home run in baseball. 

I also am jealous of the popularity of the athletes who perform well. They are able to talk to people with ease and  do not lack self confidence. I also notice that the football players have a knack for becoming Student Body Presidents at Lone peak, but maybe that's just me.
