Jealousy
This word comes from “jealous”. I checked up the dictionary and found the following meaning:
1. Jealous resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage,
etc., or against another’s success or advantage itself.
2. Mental uneasiness
from suspicion or fear of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or
aims
3. Vigilance in maintaining or guarding something
4. A jealous
feeling, disposition, state, or mood
I believe many people had felt jealous of others before. For example: siblings get jealous that their parents treat them differently, friends get jealous of each other or lovers get jealous when their partner treat another better.
I am no different from other people. It is difficult to admit of your own flaws but one of my flaws is that I often get jealous of people around me. Sometimes a little jealousy is ok but it is not healthy to let jealousy get the better of u. It may start to hunt you, leading you to do bad things like harming others or those who truly care about you.
Previous watched the 7pm show on channel 8. Apple’s character let her hatred jealousy and past hunt her. Leading her to harm her father and half sister who truly cared about her. At the end of they day, she regretted. So you see, letting jealousy rule you is a disastrous thing. But she is lucky, her family and boyfriend forgave her.
I remember in secondary school I tend to be competitive, always wanting to do better than my friends. But most of the time, my friends end up doing better. Or I’ll compare my life with those around me. Asking myself, “why is life so unfair? They get to do what they like and I’m like a trapped bird”. Funny and foolish isn’t it? Getting jealous of others. Really, what is the point of asking myself all that? Life is never fair, if not how come I have parents but some don’t or I get to eat and grow fat but others are living in poverty? I guess different people lead different lives and like what my friend said, “don’t compare la.” LOL.
Comparing would lead to jealousy. Do u all agree? Once you compare yourself with others and they are better, you would wish to be like them. I get jealous when my friends have better grade than me or when their parents seem more open and that they can communicate with their parents or even get jealous with my sister’s character. LOL. Foolish, yes I know. Though my sister is afraid of my parents but she still pluck up her courage and go forward and ask my parents things. LOL. If it were I, it would have take millions of minutes to do that. But come to think of it, get jealous for? I chose to be this way, I can just don’t think of anything and talk things out with them. But I still chose to be a coward. Sigh..
I don’t know what is my purpose to writing this; maybe just want to clear my head. But in conclusion, there is no point in being jealous over others. Because, life is NEVER fair no matter how many times you say it and you, yourself chose the path you take in life. From choosing to study hard for exams to choosing your life partner to how you want to lead your life. Feeling jealous show that you regret decisions you’ve made. So when you start feeling that sour feeling in your heart, remember you get jealous of someone but there may also be someone who is jealous of you! And remember to be happy with what you have. =)
