they don't think that they are as good as the other person. they have a low self-esteem and put the person that they are jealous of "infront" of them. and they are the kind of people that think other's lives are better and don't appreciate life as it is.

Unhappiness with oneself and what one has. The idea that one person is better than another because of things they have or can do is incorrect but it's what society tells us and we foolishly believe it and therefore become jealous as well think, do and feel many things that keep us from being truly happy in who we are and what we have and do.
