Purple Envy

“Envy consists in seeing things never in themselves, but only in their relations. If you desire glory, you may envy Napoleon, but Napoleon envied Caesar, Caesar envied Alexander, and Alexander, I daresay, envied Hercules, who never existed.” Stating this, Bertrand Russell proceeded to establish that "envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness. Not only is the envious person rendered unhappy by his envy, but they also wish to inflict misfortune on others."

I strongly disagree with Russell: there are too many human emotions which cause the extreme of unhappiness and despair. Is duniya mein bahut saare gham hain, mohabbat, ghareebi, bewafaai aur laakhon cheezon ki wajah ya siva. (In this world there are too many causes for unhappiness: love, poverty, betrayal, besides thousands of other things, or their absence.)

Anyway, as far as this picture is concerned, I hope neither the purple nor the green rouse passions, except curiosity and charm. My purpose, then, would have been served.
