It just destroys your potential and keeps you back.

Atleast Anger can turn into the promotion of some kind of creation. jealousy causes you to lose your confidense and focus one something that doesn't matter.

Jealousy generates to hate ,and in the end if not controlled can cause one at maybe an unstable time in life to do things that later are regretted

Here is a Greek story, try to picture this story as it's told. It's been awhile since I heard it, so please don't get upset if it's not exactly like the original. As a side note, I wish that cartoons were teaching kids moral stories, not just "witchcraft" power games. Aesop comes to mind, I wish Disney had Saturday cartoons about the various stories fro Aesop, they really teach you about human emotion, power games, trickery, and other issues that comes up in life when dealing with people.

The old Greek Story:

Two friends are walking side by side, the one on the right is named ENVY, on his left is JEALOUSY.

They are good friends and always walked hand in hand with each other.

One day, during their daily walk together, they run into a Genie. They are both shocked but very happy, as this is their lucky day. The Genie bows to them and says "I am at your service to bless you, today, I can offer you both a great blessing, would you like to know more?" JEALOUSY and ENVY quickly agree at the same time.

Genie decides to proceed. "You can have anything you want, I offer you a worm-hole, just walk right in, and whatever you wish for, the other person will have twice as much....HOWEVER, only one person can go first."

UHM, Jealousy and Envy stare at each other. Envy speaks, and says "I'll go first", Jealousy gleefully says "YES", expecting a good return from Envy.

The Genie sets up the worm-hole, and Envy slowly and hesitantly steps toward the hole...thinks for a moment, would Jealousy share the double portion of the blessing? Uhm..., Envy makes a decision, as soon as Envy enters the hole, he plucks out one eye.

Jealousy runs right after Envy.

And there they are together on the other side, Jealousy is lookiing around to see what double blessing Envy has given....and finds out that Envy is with one eye, and Jealousy is left with none.

As Jealousy was blinded by Envy.

(Envy wanted Jealousy to have twice as much as he did, and since Envy knew that Jealousy would end up with more....Envy made it so that Jealousy was left with less...so, he made it so that Jealousy would be blind forever..yet, Envy would always keep one eye...and Jealousy will alwasy lose both...).

So, it's better not to ever be with envy or jealousy. However, it is better to be envious then to be jealous, an envious person still has "sight" a jealous person doesn't...and if a person nurses their envy long enough, jealousy is right behind envy.

Ok, just to say it again...

A Jealous person always wants more then another person

An envious person always wants the other person to have less.

Usually, a person starts off as envious before then get jealous. They think you shouldn't be as pretty, popular, rich, loved, intelligent...and then, later, if they nurse this idea long enough, they become jealous, and they wish that they had twice as much beauty, friends, money, status, intelligence...and they usually become "blinded" by this emotion and this has bad/negative consequences for the party involved or anyone who cares for them.

Jealousy can make the most beautiful person very ugly. If something makes you jealous then it's time to move on or do some self therapy... ✅

Jealousy is bigger than the Universe itself.

Actually, jealousy can be a strong driving/motivating factor.

Indeed, though not always toward good places or goals.

Jealousy is horrid, especially over something you know you shouldn't be jealous over, yet somehow still are.
