It is the root of all evil................It is negative, and paranoid, and self centered.........To me it is the opposite of love.

jealousy is good, it makes people be competitive, and competition is good,

of course, i dont let my emotinos rule me so i dont really know what thats like...

You are so right. Its an extreamly dangerous emotion, and I am feeling it it conciously.

I shall go meditate to get rid of it, because it is hurting me, more than anyone else.

Being jealous, or hating is like getting a hold of a red hot metal rod with an intention of throwing it at someone else.
You're the one getting burned.

More people would be loving more if there was no jealousy in this world!Man do I sound like a hippy!jm 🙁

I have an issue with Jealousy, I think I inherited it from my parents, both are pretty jealous people, especially my mom. I agree that the emotion is a negative one. I'm seriously doubting of getting a girlfriend in the future just considering the fact on how jealous I can become.

By itself jealousy is not good, it doesn't do good things for the mind, or for ones mental well being. The only positive is if you can successful use it to motivate yourself in a good direction.

Let jealousy go, or use to to energise oneself to attain something so jealousy isn't needed (but not in a soap show kind of way where you poison someone to get their money or boyfriend or something.)

Hmmmmmmmmm.... my girlfriend is extremely jealous. And I like it, actually. Why? Because her actions make me KNOW that she wants me and she doesn't want anyone else to have me. I kind of feel good about myself because of it. Not that I have to have something like that to raise my self-esteem, but I guess in a weird sort of way, it can be a positive feeling. But for the most part, I know it can be a very negative emotion.

Jealously seems to me to be a terrible feeling to have. Its wicked, cruel, treacherous and can cause alot of bad acts.

Its like herion, if you let it control you, if can push away family and friends, it can consume you, make you a vicous person, cause betrayal. So many war in history were caused because of such an emotion, countless lives lost.

i think to me ultimatly Jealously is an after-math of fear, fear that hides deep inside us, coming out in indirect ways. Arguably the most dangerous emotion within us

you might want to get more experience on this topic.

It depends on the person who's jealous. They all act the same way as much as the victim of this. It is a rarity to find a different origin other than fear. If you are strong willing, think straight, and your partner is good looking all you have to do is make your point clear and make sure they understand. Failure to this act firmly and don't show weakness or they will conquer you.

im jealous of people who are cruel because they get away with being asses. Or am i just hating them.

Jealousy is always negative. There can be determination that is based off of wishing to want to have through work and merit. But jealousy/envy are vices that should be avoided...
