I was originally going to say the two others here who could relate are Alice and you.
Alice from what I gather is shy and therefore very mysterious and I actually don't know much about her. I did go looking for her and I think I found her though, she seems nice of that person is her.
I could easily talk about this at length. From what I see, both you and Alice are without jealousy. I imagine when something good happens to someone here and they share it with pride, you, Alice, Epsilon, and perhaps Luna celebrate it.
I used to appreciate Luna for whatever she had to offer. It was nice what she did. I don't see her as the type of be happy for anyone other than herself though. You give her way too much credit.
I can see you wanting to lift people up and beyond. The other type would mainly share their fortune and advice, but only to basque in glory, and to feel important. Some, and you know who I'm talking about, feel like the success of others literally burns their skin, so they do anything not to see others succeed. So I guess those are the three kind of people when it comes to jealousy.
I used to feel disgusted when Jim would boast about his investments doing well, but really he would buy things that already pumped then get wrecked. He never made a good call. Meanwhile he had single Mother on this very forum he did not support.
When it comes to competition, Luna looks at herself and then looks at others, and feels either pride or shame, depending how she ranks amongst her peers. Epsilon likewise acknowledges those around him, but his mentality is that of friendly competitor. He is what you would call a good sportsman. Some, and you know who these people are, look at those around them and refuse to acknowledge the comparison, because, like the success of others, acknowledging it burns. Alice and you, and me, recognize the comparison, but don't think much of it.
Looks like Epsilon wants everyone to band together and spread gossip about you, or the say the least have other agree with her gossip, but if that's your buddy and this is what you do for fun, then all the power to you. That doesn't look like good sportsmanship to me though.
I have several friends who are driven by those around them. That's why, for people like Jordan Peterson, it makes sense to put Jesus Christ as an ideal to chase, because they see the betterment of people mainly come about through competition. But that's not the only way in which people can better themselves. Personally, I'm driven by ideas.
As long as things function, all is right in your environment. Things are fine with your people on the most part, you're doing well.

I don't see jealousy as a bad thing. It's how we handle it that matters, I've certainly felt it before.
One of my siblings is perpetually jealous of me. The worst was when I got my 1st and 2nd Ninja. When I lose the first one, he started cooling off but 10 months later I got another one and he lost it again. He's not Jealous of the others, just me and how he handled was poor. It did a lot of damage in the family. When I do well his eyes turn red, and his cheeks puff when he curses at me, like he isn't even trying to hide it. All of his extended family hate me for some reason. His Father in law, his Mother in law, his ex's family, his wife, his newer friends I never knew growing up. They all treat me like I'm to be avoided at all cost, or they are just rude.
We met another sibling late in life, and that sibling was taught to fear me. Now I'm the only one she talks to and she saw first hand the ways of the wicked one. The youngest sibling, he kinda stays out of it, but he does stick up for me in the heat of the moment.
One time we were parting ways at one of the last family gatherings at my Late Father's house. His wife hugged his friend, hugged the other siblings, then she warmed up and gave me a hug, and he totally cracked and made things really awkward.
So When it comes to jealousy, I wouldn't let it do me that, but rather I'll squash it really quick if it ever surfaces because I see how ugly someone can get when they submit to it. I think that mindset alone keeps it at bay cause I probably never felt it... Well since my teens.
I'm also not interested in making people jealous either. It's childish and very obvious when people do that. With that if someone close to me pulled that, I wouldn't be impressed for the fact they would even try to do that, but I also consider the woman's nature is to shit test from time to time. And yes we have to have some type of reaction or else she'll see you as a pushover and her vagina will dry up. That's life -_-
