As you journey through life, you encounter a steady stream of people complaining that others are jealous of them, and that this jealousy had resulted in them falling sick or losing something or someone of value. People all over the world regularly perform rituals to remove the “evil eye”. But are only others jealous of us or are we jealous of them too?

Jealousy is a completely absurd and illogical state of mind and the more absurd and destructive its manifestation, the more and more rampant it gets, until you realise it is just an exalted few who have natural immunity from this terrible global pandemic, for which there is no known vaccine.

If a woman is happily married, her friends are jealous. If her “happy” marriage breaks down and she is divorced and alone, the same people are even more jealous of her newfound freedom. There is no sympathy for her predicament, just uncontrolled rage. Technically, this jealousy should dissolve if the woman remarries, because she is now back in the same boat as them. But no. No respite. Jealousy stands tall - fierce, unconquerable. The pain point now is: why did she find ...
... a better partner? Why was she bestowed this happiness? The Jealous do not realise that they have many relationships and material comforts that this woman doesn’t, but it has not made them happy. So even if they, too, were to be bestowed with a better partner, they are not likely to be happy with that either.

If you are not happy with what you have today, you are unlikely to be happy with what you could have or will have tomorrow.
