Hi.
My cousin is envious of people who are better than him. He usually says "Wow, this man is rich", "Oh, he has a pretty wife", etc. And people like my cousin are everywhere. We tend to spend time envy others rather than to work hard to improve ourselves. I wrote "We'd rather spend time envying others than improving ourselves".
Is my italic sentence natural?
