Yes, like when the pioneers on this nation's frontiers resolved to live in a wood-frame or log house instead of a sod one.

There were probably bitter, resentful dirt house dwellers who called the wood-frame or log house owners "rich" and "greedy" too. But each one worked like a mule to carve out the woods or rocks or sod they built their place with.

Envy is the twin brother of Greed in the list of 7 Deadly Sins.
