Default Misunderstanding?

Am I the only who thinks Steve wrote about envy, not jealousy?

From wikipedia:

"Jealousy typically refers to the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that occur when a person believes a valued relationship is being threatened by a rival."

"Envy is the desire for another's traits, status, abilities, station, or worldly goods. It need not be associated with an object; its salient characteristic is the unfovorable [sic] comparison of one's own status with that of another."
