Jealousy

Jealousy [jel-uh-see] noun - mental uneasiness from suspicion of fear or rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or aims.

Perhaps I need not define what jealousy means. Probably most of you know what it is. Probably most of you have been jealous before. Maybe jealous of a person of a higher economical stature, jealous of a someone who has better things than you, jealous of someone who owns that red sports car you've always wanted, or probably jealous of someone who you think has a crush on the woman you love.

Nonetheless, all of us have probably felt jealous about something or someone before.

I hear people say "I have no right to be jealous" all the time. I strongly disagree most of the times. For me, as long as you love someone, you have the right to be jealous even if you're just a friend.

Yes, I know. You're probably thinking that I'm giving bad advice, but trust me, a little jealousy is necessary.

Just imagine if a husband never gets jealous of his wife. Would you think the wife would remain faithful or would not engage in an affair when she knows that her husband won't get jealous? I don't think so.

My mother had always been the jealous type. And that's one of the many traits that I have inherited from her.

Yes, I get jealous easily. I even get jealous when a close friend of mine makes a new friend. I sort of don't like the idea of losing someone's attention.

But that was well beyond the past.. I hope.

Jealousy is a bitch. It makes people think stuff; do stuff.
Jealousy is a bitch. It weakens relationships, eventually destroying it.
Jealousy is a bitch, and I am infected.
