It can be a very EVIL thing.

I won't sit here and tell you that I have never been a jealous person at some point in my life.

I'm just not currently jealous of anything or anyone right now.

but.......
I know jealousy.
I know what it can do to a person.
It takes over who you are.
You do very unchristain like things.
Its not a good quality to have. No matter what justifications you have for your behavior.
Its kinda like being an alcoholic. You never admit to what you've become. You never come out and say your actually jealous. You just become more and more obsessed with what your jealous of. In fact when friends try and point it out you only become more angry.

You go to great lengths to do/say mean things. Cause you think it will make you feel better. That some how it will change the situation for the better if everyone saw this person or situation for what they were.

You justify you behavior with excuses. That is only realistic to YOU.
It grows and grows until it gets totally out of control. Your anger takes over you.
(I know this one all too well)

Its all you talk about. Until people start to not want to be around you. What with all the negative behavior and all.

Jealousy can make you do things that you wouldn't normally do.
 Scary things. Mean things. Bad things.

One never realizes this until they take a step back and look at how bad its gotten.
and to think all that energy was just wasted.
 for nothing.
No matter how much you try to convience yourself.
Jealous behavior and actions are NEVER worth it.

Try
forgive and forget.

 it totally works.

Do you know of somone
who has allowed
 jealousy to take over their life?
