Envy towards the success of others - is one of the most widespread manifestations of the Delta Quadra complex of "clipped wings": the fewer personal successes, the more ambitions and the more jealousy is aimed at the successes of another (the feeling of personal loses needs to be compensated for somehow).

Interestingly, these tendency of feeling jealousy and envy toward exceptionally successful, smart, talented, etc individuals are present in the countries that I've listed in the Delta countries thread. Delta will try to cut down those who are seen as exceptionally successful or gifted in some ways. They also don't like much competition, so they will try to be more "egalitarian" (but this "egalitarianism" has more to do with "being their own masters" than being just and fair). Businesses also tend to be highly regulated and stifled so that they serve the society's needs more. Being rich and excessive materialism are also somewhat discouraged.
This is something very annoying that Deltas do:

The ability to incline others to make concessions while not conceding themselves - is one of the greatest victories of Delta Quadra. Slogans: "Think about others!", "Yield your rights to another!", "Give up your privileges for the benefit of others!" - turn out to be that very same measure that curbs the rights of others, allowing the Delta "controller-mentor" to act in full swing, to the maximum of his strengths and abilities, to the full extent of his potential, while he himself remains free from any possibilistic limitations. By controlling and subordinating others, he obeys no one himself - nothing binds and chains his own creative initiatives and plans, nothing hinders the growth of his ambitions and the creative flight of his imagination.
