"If I hadn't blown the whole thing years ago, I might not be alone." -- "Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossoms

Hallo there,

Humanity seem to have a weakness, and that's that many would rather see that everyone has nothing, rather than some having something because they 'deserved' it more than others...

Although one must be careful with the word 'deserved'...

There's something like predatory wealth where someone has wealth at the cost of others because of systemic advantages. This is an evil where someone will feel angry just a jealous person would, but this is a justified anger that looks for justice...and not jealousy.

True jealousy comes forth from a feeling of inferiority by the the one who is struggling with the green monster.

This is most clearly seen in love-triangles, whether it be 2 men and 1 woman or two women and one man...

Two of them will be love rivals...

One will win and one will lose, but both WANT the 'prize'...

The loser will always have feelings of jealousy and even hate towards the winner and crimes of passion are therefore very common...

Jealousy have other forms, as well. Someone might have a talent, and then it'lll make everybody jealous.

This type of jealousy usually came from a feeling of inferiority. But instead of looking for their own talents, which should be a natural reflex in this situation -- because nobody is talentless -- many will continue to waste their time, dwelling on this issue (which shouldn't be an issue for them), and it'll get worse over time as they're falling further-and-further behind the person that's making them to feel jealous.

If someone has a talent than you must go look for your own, especially if you're young. Jealousy, in this case, is a pure waste of time because what someone can, or cannot, do is nothing to someone else...

Jealousy, therefore, is a natural tendency in humanity, but it depends on inferiority complexes, except perhaps in the case of love triangles, to take a strong hold on someone...

Building up someone's self-esteem will go a long way to make someone immune against jealousy...

Yours sincere

Much of classical legends may well be based on history, far-fetched as it may seem. For any wanting to explore this, I'd suggest the new book, "The Seeders" by Elena Danaan.

She has her credits as an archeologist, fluent in several languages and able to translate multiple ancient ones, not to mention the ancient Sumerian Kings List - per Wikipedia:

The Sumerian King List

"The Sumerian King List lists kings who ruled in ancient Sumer and nearby locations before and after the "great flood," also known as the deluge. At the beginning of the Sumerian King List, it is described that eight kings ruled the earth for a total of 241,200 years, and then the devastating flood swept over their land. ..."

Elena does Youtube videos and is frequently interviewed by Dr. Michael Salla of Exopolitics fame. If one is hesitant to take Elena's story at face value, I think it should be remembered that Homer's story of Troy was long thought to be fancy. Nor is there anything wrong with disbelieving a stories that are sure to open the mind to new areas, areas that one may find one shares with some very ancient people!
