why and when should we get jealous on others? Do we fear of getting defeated by them? If a person is confident will he/she ever get jealous?

We should never get jealous of another person in life. This is a horribly negative quality and it not only makes the person miserable but it also spreads the negativity all around. If we look up to soemone for something, then we can try to emulate them .THat is all.

I am not a person who is jealous by nature Vijayanths. But I am a person who would fight against injustice and unequal treatment.

Great Kala. I wish I can also be like you. I try my best not to get jealous on any one. Sometimes I fail,though. But I am much better than many others. I believe in healthy competition. I always am happy about the success of others and I do appreciate their success. Sometimes it becomes a negative point in your life, if you lose your competing spirit. I respect you Kala. it is a pleasure to interact with you.

Jealousy is a feeling of insecurity and fear, a negative thoughts,it is often define with negative meaning.but jealousy is not always as bad as we thought it is.There is also some positive traits a jealousy can ever give depending on how we battle with it against ourselves. like,a wife is being jealous and keep accusing her husband of cheating but she haven't proven or haven't seen any truth about her doubts.And,she comes to think of about her nagging may lead into one reason her husband might leave her,and,with this thinking she promised herself to be more romantic and caring to her husband instead of pressuring him with her nags and accuses due to her jealousness.isn't this a positive result of jealousy?

scorpions usually are cool and don't lose their temper easily. If they lose they use intolerable words against the opponent and people would be just shocked to hear such words from them.

People are only jealous when they are afraid and insecure. For example, jealousy in relationship, a women will be jealous of her boyfriend talking to much sexier woman because they are afraid that this much sexier woman will steal her boyfriend. The don’t trust their boyfriend and they are insecure, they compare themselves to the sexier lady, they lower their standard. I think this is not right. Although it is a women's nature , it is still not right. Jealousy comes from different story. In family, if a parent is giving much of his or her on one of his or her child, of course the other child will notice it , he or she will take it positively or negatively. If negatively, jealousy will come in. To cut my explanation , no one will win if they have jealousy in their heart. When you have it you will never see your own talent. Everyone is unique and has its own beauty we should develop our gift. We should look at our life to improve it and do not look at others life. we should build trust, acceptance adn be open minded, to avoid jealousy.
