Jealousy

Just like any other weekend, today was a day to sleep, watch movies and eat....thats about it... basically, just plain ole typical lazing around...school's anout to start again tomorrow(after 4 days of holidays)...well, it was fun while it lasted...

Jealousy... A distinctively dangerous word... Resentment, malcontent, dismay, disliking... All representing HATE... envy is the only word that truely describes this word... this "jealousy"... Just like Hate, jealousy is the feeling of absolute despise and utter antipathy... Nevertheless, jealousy is not exactly HATE... It is the most common source of HATE... Jealousy is known as fearful or wary of being supplanted; apprehensive of losing affection or position. Or in other words, the fear of the success of others... The envy of the victories of everyone but "you"... painfully desirous of another's advantages...covetous of others possessions...

This diabolic, attrocious, covetous word, jealous, is an anticipated characteristic of any common mortal... In fact, it lies in the minds of any living creature crawling on this very earth... This characteristic, this instinct can be caused by a dispossession of any sought... To some, seeing others possessing an object of their liking could cause jealousy... For others, seeing others feeling happy could cause jealousy...

However, just like Hate, this jealousy is just another senseless, ridiculous, irrational, uncivilized, foolish instinct of ours... Logically, it makes more sense to hurt yourself than to be jealous... We, as so called civilized, godd-natured, gentle humans, should in fact be happy for the success, possessions and most of all, the happiness of others... Here are some wise men who had discremenated jealousy...

Envy is the ulcer of the soul. (Socrates)
Our envy of others devours us most of all. (Alexander Solzhenitsyn)
In jealousy there is more self-love than love. (Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld)
So full of artless jealousy is guilt It spills itself in fearing to be spilt.(William Shakespeare)
The jealous are possessed by a mad devil and a dull spirit at the same time. (Johann Kaspar Lavater)
Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.
