Subject: envy and jealousy are universal

If the basic mechanisms of jealousy involve comparison, then isn’t it universal.

Have you ever had a moment since toddler age in a social content in which something of the mechanisms of jealousy got up a left your mind and never returned.

Is it essential for individual betterment, and what does it look like when it becomes respectable under the threshold of that recognizable.

Is to intentionally provoke jealousy itself a type of jealousy. And what of doing it unconsciously, a mechanism that considered involves a strategy to do so.

as we have as yet no knowledge of other life off earth we can’t opine with confidence as to whether envy and jealousy are “Universal” or not.

Several times. I found that jealousy disappears when I realise that the person I’m jealous of has a tougher life than I have.

I make a personal distinction between jealousy and envy. Jealousy is negative and destructive. Envy ‘should’ be conscientious, humorous and constructive. The former is a reflex and the latter a deliberate decision and practice.

Can’t remember the last time I was jealous of anyone. I might never have been.

I remember one evening late, you’d had a few too many wines and were wildly jealous of my love for my pet sheep. Don’t you be denying it now.
