Jealousy

Jealousy is one of our worst emotions, but it's negative emotions that make having the positive emotions all the more desirable

if there is no bad there can be no good

i was thinking and supposing on this topic jealousy could be used to a positive effect, but it would have to be well controlled

for example in the 50' there were many kids who had no money and they had a strong jealousy of rich people, and that inspired them to do good.

Jealousy can keep us under a sense of discouraging frustration and disappointment. It makes us gloomy. It' s one of those unnecessary evils we burden ourselves with at times.

But you can turn jealousy into a positive factor, a motive to achieve, ambition to drive you to get what you want.

thats why lucifer is in hell!

This is need. You don't have problems you don't have needs. Wish the devil never hear you.

jealousy is very bad; but I believe we all feel it from time to time. when a friend wins a prize, when a lover likes someone else, when someone is way better off than you are and seem to have it made, etc. etc.

I personally feel jealousy a lot, and I know I shoudn't. I envy just about everyone, because just about everyone has it better than me.

However, right now I have someone wonderful in my life! Without that person I would fall, but that does not make my jealousy go away. Right now I am jealous of my grandfathers new family....he ditched me and got a new family...and he was my only family.

You're confusing it with envy.

yes, but I get jealous a lot too. hehe for example I hate it when my love flirts with other girls oh wow that makes me SO JEALOUS!

I'd hate that too...... 😠

I've never suffered for others...I come first. Jealousy has an excuse and people are always right to be jealous. But envy is bad...this is when you let something take control of you (ambition). For instance in my personal life I had more girls arguing with me than liking me...weird because I'm a guy and also straight. They just hate my personality just like you girls.

Jealousy is definitely a negative emotion. There is no way that we can benefit from it. Craving what someone else possesses completely clouds our mind...we can't open our eyes to our own fortunes if we're scowling at those who are 'better off.'

😆 my name is Phoebe, not Tom.

It depends how jealous you are. The more jealous you are, the more dangerous it is. It's not a good thing to feel, obviously, and we would be better off without it, but we can't help it.

interesting take on it, I think jealousy is a more desperate emotion. A little ache in your heart.
