FACTS about JEALOUSY

"Peace of mind makes body healthy, but jealousy is like a cancer." 
(Prov. 14:30, Today's English Version)

Do you feel jealous most of the time? How can we control ourselves being jealous? In any relationship we can't avoid  getting jealous sometimes, but we need to overcome this feeling because this will not help any relationship, it can kill or fade love, trust and loyalty too. Love is not a jealous but love conquers all. It is not conceited or proud. It is patient and kind. Love is not ill-mannered or selfish and it doesn't keep a record of wrongs.

Jealousy comes easily if we do not trust ourselves, the feeling of being threatened by a rival in a romantic relationship or losing something of value to another person which happens it's yours already. Or  feeling of envy,  hatred or bitterness towards another person for having an advantage that YOU don't have. Whatever is the cause or your reason of being jealous is not proper, we have to do something before it's too late.

If love reigns in our hearts, never shall we feel jealous of anyone, even of those who may enjoy things that we do not have. We shall share their happiness in their joy, we shall also rejoice in their success, we shall feel happy for them.

"Jealousy while still benign like a cancer, should be treated right away before it becomes malignant and leads to death."

  1. Hi there Sagittarian--

    I finally got around to reading your blog after seeing it on Bloggers.

    You make several good points here. I agree that the root of jealousy is insecurity about one's own abilities and talents.

    Thanks for sharing!

  2. Oh wow! That's really a good advice. In everyone of us, there is jealousy, whether it's healthy or unhealthy types. As you said, it's the benign cancer, I regard that as unhealthy. Yes, it's good that it's treated before eating up all the healthy cells!

    May be a little bit of jealousy is ok to keep the relationship going. It's the sign of love but not possessiveness. But don't let it go overboard. What's important is understanding each other and build trust.

  7. Hi sweetie.
    Jealousy is a useless emotion that only cause trouble. People don't trust that is why they get jealous. I don't think most even know why they feel jealous though. If you love, trust and respect each other, jealousy should never even enter your mind. Great post by the way.

  13. Hi Sagittrian,

    A small amount of jealousy may help by improving oneself. However, too much jealousy may be a cause of overdose which is definitely bad.
