“People often grudge others what they cannot enjoy themselves.”
— Aesop

Simplified Meaning:
When people can't have something, they sometimes feel upset or even angry when they see others enjoying it. This feeling can turn into jealousy. For example, if one person can't afford a nice car, they might feel bitter whenever they see someone else driving a luxury car, even if they don't know that person. This behavior is quite common in human nature. Instead of being happy for others, they end up holding negative feelings. To avoid this, it's important to focus on being content with what you have and learn to be genuinely happy for others' success. Practicing gratitude for your own blessings can help reduce these unhappy feelings.
