JEALOUSY AND ENVY

JEALOUSY AND ENVY

        What's the tea? You wanna dive into the world of jealousy and envy? Those two can be toxic, right? Like, one minute you're just chillin', and the next, you're consumed by negative emotions. What's the difference between the two? Is it just semantics, or is there more to it? Envy is actually one of the seven deadly sins. It's considered a vice that can lead to feelings of resentment and bitterness towards others. Jealousy, while not one of the seven deadly sins, can be closely related to envy. Both emotions can be intense and potentially destructive if not managed.

       In the context of the seven deadly sins, envy is often seen as a corrosive emotion that can damage relationships and our own well-being. The concept of the seven deadly sins, including envy, has been explored in various cultures and philosophies. Some see these "sins" as cautionary tales to help us recognize and manage our darker impulses. Others view them as rigid moral codes. In modern times, we might interpret the seven deadly sins as reminders to cultivate self-awareness, empathy, and personal growth. Envy, in particular, can serve as a signal to examine our own desires, values, and aspiration.

      Jealousy and envy are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct vibes. Jealousy usually involves a perceived threat to something you already have, like a relationship or possession. Think "I don't want to lose this." It's about protection and preservation. Envy, on the other hand, is more about desiring something someone else has. It's like "I want what they have." Envy can be a desire for someone's success, status, or possessions.

    Both jealousy and envy can be super destructive if not managed. They can lead to resentment, anxiety, and even toxic behavior. But they can also be opportunities for growth and self-reflection. Jealousy can make you realize what's truly important to you in a relationship or situation. Envy can inspire you to work towards your goals and ambitions. It's all about perspective, right?

     Sometimes, jealousy and envy can stem from insecurities or unmet needs. Jealousy might be a sign that you need to communicate better in a relationship or work on building trust. Envy could be a signal that you're not pursuing your own goals or desires. It's like, instead of focusing on what others have, you can use those feelings as fuel to drive your own success. Or, you can explore what's really driving those emotions and work on healing that inner stuff.

       Let's get philosophical. Can we ever truly eliminate jealousy and envy, or are they inherent to the human experience? Maybe they're evolutionary leftovers or societal constructs. Or, are they just emotions we're conditioned to view as negative? Could we reframe them as natural responses to the world around us? Like, instead of beating ourselves up over feeling envious, we acknowledge it and use it as motivation.

     In relationships, jealousy can sometimes be a sign of deeper issues like insecurity, fear of abandonment, or lack of trust. But it can also be a natural response to a real threat, like abreach of boundaries. Envy, on the other hand, can be a reflection of our own desires and aspirations. It might push us to work harder, be more creative, or strive for more. But it can also lead to comparison and dissatisfaction.

       Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and others can fuel jealousy and envy, making us feel like we're not good enough or missing out. The highlight reels can create unrealistic expectations and promote comparison. Let's talk about the impact on mental health. Chronic jealousy and envy can lead to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. It's like, when we're constantly comparing ourselves to others or obsessing over what we don't have, it can be draining. 

      Admit it or not we cannot always have what other people have. Like we cannot force people to like and love us. Feelings cannot be forced. People will love us if they feel that we treat them with sincerity. People we meet in our journey in life was not accident. Some will stay but some will test us. It’s not who they met first but they remember how we treat them. If people love others more than you, you cannot question them why. Instead, ask your own self why people love others more than you. We cannot take what other people have like the things they have, the achievement they get even their family. You have your own. Don’t force yourself to fit in the place and people who doesn’t belong to you. 

    To those who feel jealous and envious to others, learn to appreciate other people without always trying to show you are right and you are the best because people around will see who we really are. Sometimes you want others to be like a joke in the eyes of the others but what happen was vice versa you are the one who becoming a joke to them. Learn to be good to others, don’t be wicked and unkind. Learn not to be jealous of others. One something bad happen to you, you are telling others that you been cursed. Why not for once be true to yourself. You have been cursed or you are experiencing Karma from your wicked doing to others. Don’t point your finger to other. Remember, when we are pointing our finger to others, three more fingers are pointing to ourself. 

     Never be jealous or envious of anyone. Everyone was special in our own special way. Find your own worth and others will see it too. Accept who you are. And work hard to improve yourself rather be jealous and be envious of someone else. We cannot be pretend to be someone that we aren’t. That mask will eventually fall off and you will leave with nothing. Even if you regret in the end. It’s no use because you lose everything and it will never be the same again. Be good and do good not the other way around.Even in the ancient time, jealousy and envy link to wickedness not only on women but also on men. Men want to cease power to ruled. Brothers fighting to the position to ruled. Women cease power in a harem to become queen or empress. Even servant plotting against each other. Once jealousy and envy reach human heart it always results to wickedness. Scheming to each other keep in circling in any dynasty and ages.  

      We can achieve what we want if we work hard and diligently. Instead to be wicked because jealousy and envy be humble and grateful for what we have while doing our best to have what we want. Without jealousy and being envious world will be better for all of us. Continue which field we are best and improve our self in which part we are lacking. There was always a place for self-improvement as long as we are willing to learn. Always have a humble and grateful heart..
