Although that may be true at some point but assessing the wholeness it is generally tagged to be bad. Why? Well it will always lead to ill feelings about everything. We feel jealous but then the tendency is to overkill everything. so the minute that you feel jealous I guess you have to assess to make sure that you do not go overboard.

too much of everything is thus not healthy to both parties in the relationship a little bit of jealousy is okay, it is good for the heart, but too much of it suffocates the person and is not giving a healthy mind exercise for the one thinking too much negative about his/her partner.

hello friend jealousy is never good. It makes u mis ur focus on what u have with u rather draws ur focus to someone else's possession. It creates an unhealthy competitive atmoshpere that degrades a person both emotionally & mentally . It also reduces the productivity of the concerned person. So we should try our best to keep the feeling away from our mind & try to be happy with all that we have with ourselves. Also jealousy invites ego clash which is not good for interpersonal relationships. Thank you very much...happy mylotting..

I think that jealousy...a little..is natural. It's when we let it control our thoughts and actions that it can become a problem.

There are a few times that jealousy can be good, for reaffirmation purposes BUT excessive, uncontrolled, and unnecessary jealousy is totally NOT good. It puts a relationship at risk. People who are in a relationship should be able to trust his or her partner.

I think that jealousy is not bad thing if it is used in the right spirit. If you feel jealous about something, you should resolve to get the same thing at the earlies possible. You may use it is a source of inspiration. If due to that jealousy we waste our time just in thinking negatively and waste our time, that will be very bad thing for you.

What could possibly be positive aabout jealousy? It's an expression of pitiful insecurity. It causees a person to act in a controlling manner toward another. It can even cause abusive relationships. Jealousy is terrible in every way!

Jealousy is never good, it can create problems that do not even exist. Many people who has a jealous nature seems to take things out of proportion and run with it. Jealousy can ruin a good relationship and friendships. I think it tends to be worse when it is in a relationship. I learned a long time ago, that jealousy is not for me.

I don't think jealousy is ever good. It breeds resentment and can inspire a person to do rotten things. It can lead to ulcers and health problems because it causes so much stress to the person who is jealous. It can even lead to violence. I am not a big religous person, but I'm not surpised that one of the ten commandments is kind of about jealousy: Do not covet they neighbors things.....don't be jealous of what someone else has.
