See, this is hard for me to empathize with, because I hate pick-ups. Though obviously, if I needed one for practical reasons, I'd rather have a nice one than a crappy one. I'm slightly envious of Daddy's Prius (though I want a blue one, it's prettier!), but since I don't really need and can't afford a car, I deal with being able to ride in it. I think there's a difference between envy- "I really like what you have and wish that I could have something just like it!" and jealousy- "I want the exact thing that you have. I either want to take it from you, or make it so that if I can't have it, you can't either." (this is especially true with relationships- looking at a relationship and saying "that's sweet, I want something like that some day" v. "I want to be with the person you're with") If you wish you could have a shiny new truck, then that's one thing. If you think there's a reason why your master shouldn't have a shiny new truck, that's bad. I get that you see no practical purpose, and so it's hard for you to understand the expense, but if it makes him happy, that's what matters.
