Assignment #7 The Human Flaw

Jealousy-definition: Jealous feelings or behavior; an instance of being jealous or envy of others. Pretty simple explanation right, but yet this simple word can create a tornado of disasters. Even at the tiniest bit of jealousy, it can consume your entire body and create a monster out of you. You become such an envious evil person and do horrible things like lie, still, or even kill because of this emotion. It's not something you should be proud of, absolutely not.

Jealousy can start anywhere from early childhood too late adulthood. From silly little things like you want the teacher to give you a sticker for being the sharpest light bulb in class or from you will do anything to steal your best friends fiance because he is rich and you want the money. Jealousy is one of those emotions that can overpower you, and make you feel so insecure and frightened over things that are meaningless or doesn't matter to other people. If not controlled it can destroy your life, and make you wonder what could have been.

I think jealousy comes from a deep root, and that root is that we don't love ourselves enough that we have to compare ourselves with somebody else, always wanting to be like them or have the same things they have. We as humans don't like to accept this, but it's the reality. There will always be that little voice in your head saying "Oh, I wish I had that," or "Oh, I want my body to be like that," but it's up to you if you can shake it off and accept and love yourself and your body for whom you are and how god created you. We shouldn't let emotions take over our lives, we should be thankful for what we have. And instead of being jealous we should admire someone and help support them in life because that's how karma is what goes around comes around and one day we will have what we always wished for. Of course we can't have everything in the world because there will always be someone that will have something better, we have to be grateful for what we do have and thank our parents for all the hard work they do to give us what we have. We need to love, cherish, and create ourselves and be different in this world because god went through a lot of trouble to create you, why in the world would you want to be like somebody else?
