Jealousy for what?

Jealousy.. aahh its a factor or say emotion that is rooted deep in our blood and soul. Some people come across with this emotion in some stages/phases/moments in their life, for other's it is a lifetime ordeal. Ordeal.. is it a ordeal?! Most people will think its natural to be jealous, even a two-year old feels jealous -stated in a recent study- then whats the big deal. Let me tell you why it is an ordeal. First of all, there is a big difference in thinking patterns of a baby and an adult because of the growth of their mind. Jealousy is a torture for your ownself. The other person won't get any harm from it. It is you who will suffer. When you are jealous of somebody, this means you are lacking something either tangible or intangible. You think that why you don't have it or maybe I can't do it. It just lowers your own self-esteem, cultivate anger and negative emotions which can be a reason for depression in future. It is like self-mutation.. hurting your ownself. So if you love yourself then next time when you feel jealous just think about the positive elements of your life and the blessings which make you lucky, irrespective of whether other person has it or no. Its about you and only you, one should not compare himself with others in a negative way because every individual is different and their whole background is different. If you like some trait in others, try hard to attain it or else just don't feel envy for him/her.
