My Brother will be Published before me

#1 Post by TheCalvinator24 » Fri Jan 16, 2009 11:16 am

My older brother responded to this call for articles. His piece on the 1942 Rose Bowl was selected for inclusion.

I am proud.

And just a little bit jealous.

Congrats to your brother!

I think you are envious, not jealous.

I looked up envious on dictionary.com to see the distinction between envious and jealous.

When looking at all the definitions, there doesn't appear to be a real difference. Both words include "resentment," but I don't think that is necessarily the connotation for either word.

It does seem that envy has more to do with covetousness, and jealousy is more about ill will.

I learned something.

Can you post the piece, or does that violate copyright laws?

I think he sent me the original article (unedited), but I do think it would violate the copyright for me to post the whole thing.

When I get home, I'll post an excerpt.
