Update:The Green-eyed Monster, What Else?
written on Saturday, July 11, 2009 @ 11:57 PM ∞ 0 candies
Why do some people derive pleasure from the misfortunes of others?
The answer is really simple-Jealousy.
"If I am jealous, I am unhappy because someone else has something that I do not have. I want what you have. Perhaps you are more talented than I am, perhaps you are better looking; perhaps you have more friends than I do. All of this make me unhappy because somehow I feel that all of your good things humiliate me and keep me down. Insecurity comes over me. Quite possibly, you do not even know me but then, my imagination is making me jealous."
When we see someone else who is lucky, talented or rich, somehow deep down inside, we feel that all these good fortunes of other people downgrade us. But that is not true. These good fortunes of others have nothing to do with us. Even the people who have these qualities might not know about them but we are unhappy because they have them; we are jealous. We figure that we have a right to all that everyone else has. And if we don't get it, we become an enemy of those who do.
It is jealousy that keeps people from something that would benefit them and others. They live with the thought that if one person gets ahead, it shames the rest of them. It proves the fact that when others are in a point in their lives where they feel the worst, others would feel the exact opposite for the simple reason that they are envious of what the person had gained.
To lessen their envy for a person, they celebrate when that person finally falls down. Why? It's all because for once, they finally got ahead. It is shallow happiness and a wrong one at that but most of the time, it can't be helped. It is human nature after all...
Jealousy is the mark of a proud person. He or she must be number one or else... no one else is going to be allowed to be number one. They will all be cut down to size.
It starts small and then spreads. "Jealousy rots the bones." -Proverbs 14:30

So, Hi. :) This was actually created as a requirement for English class back in Third Year (High School of course.) Oh, about that--please forgive whatever errors you can find in the posts. :> I have no intention of editing them again.I think they remind me more of my previous self (lol. I sound like someone who got reincarnated. Oh well.)
ps. I'm presently living HERE
