Just A Thought ~ JEALOUSY

"Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul."

~ John Dryden, English Poet, 1631 - 1700 ~

Feelings like anger, sadness or fear we may admit to, but who would ever own up to being jealous? Jealousy is a corrosive emotion, and eats at our hearts like acid. One antidote to it is to feel joy in others’ happiness and fortune, even if we don’t know them. There is happiness ready-made, and plenty of it, too. When you see someone smile, as over the innocent play of their children, the exuberant frolics of their pets, the pleasure they take over their gardens, and so on, take it as your own; they will not begrudge it to you.
