A lively virtue, however, is embedded in this deadly sin. The virtue grows out of the same soil but blooms in a completely different fashion. It is, if you will, a form of good envy that learns from greatness without wanting to bring it down. It's not an opposing virtue, as the church would say, but one that is mixe up with the same impulses that can lead to the green-eyed monster. This lively virtue, which has already been alluded to, is called EMULATION.
