    Jealousy is never good. It gives so many ways of it. Beeing jeallous, because someone has a greart job, looks beautiful, more as “I”, has some belongings we like to have and and…! Oh no… we can live a happy life in another way. We can be compasstionate and lovabe to others or help them when they are in need. Love comes from the inside of us and can replace jealousy. – Blessings Rose

    Angie,

    Some great advice!

    Trust and faith into each-other. With-out it, it may lead to further destructive feelings and insecurity. That’s why the old saying…”love and hate can be a very fine line.” Trust God’s wisdom…

    Keep up the great work!

    Jealousy is very common and I think Angie gave some good advice for dealing with it. I think that Angie has great insight into the fact that envy has to do with feelings about one’s own unrealized potential. And I agree that jealousy can be transformed into admiration.

    The only part I disagree with is that I think in some relationships, it might be okay to admit your jealousy. If you’re close with someone and can say it in an honest, nonthreatening way, it might lead to a real deepening of the relationship.

    And Angie…won’t your writer and singer friends find out about your jealousy once they see this??!!

    Kate, Ha! I suppose you’re right … though, in my case, they aren’t close friends. So, it would be weird. But, in a close friendship it could strengthen the bond. I think the key would be to say it in a way that didn’t obligate the other person to change because of our feelings. I’ve been on both sides of an equation where sharing your feelings leads to expectations that the other person do something different so that you no longer feel that way. Presuming they didn’t do anything immoral or unkind…. How would that conversation go?
