Jealousy- does anyone else suffer from it?

Jealousy is an emotion born from a sense of lack. We feel it when we think that we are at risk of losing someone or something that we feel belongs to us, and us alone. Or, it arises when we feel someone has something that we feel should have too.

It's common, but it's not normal. In fact, it is abnormal. It's a distorted emotion.

Jealousy destroys love. It is an acid that corrodes us from the inside, quickly contaminating our outside world, poisoning not only ourselves, but the very object of our jealousy—the friend, or lover is pushed away, repelled by our behaviour, or violence or unpleasantness; and the thing desired becomes an object of pain for us and no longer brings us any pleasure.

Love is like holding a tiny, beautiful, fragile bird in our hand. We let it fly away, for we know it can never belong to us. But we keep our hand outstretched, and it may or may not return to us. Jealousy is the opposite of love. Jealousy makes us clench our fist, gripping tightly, so that we crush the life from the bird. 

Recognise jealousy for what it is: a poison that we create and administer to ourselves and others when we believe that we can possess something or someone. 

I think your definitely on right lines there.

I know you are!

Still can't stop my own jealousy tho.

Wish I could conquer it
