RE: Jealousy Is a Feeling, Never a Flaw

As I have an older sister, I remember being jealous of her so many times when we were kids... And from an early age, I had the same feeling you shared: jealousy is a bad "feeling," and we should suppress it! It was just recently, when I was talking with a friend, and at one moment I told her: "I'm jealous of you!", and she replied: "I hope positively, as positively jealous..."

That was the moment I realized jealousy can work FOR US! Rolling back my memories from childhood... If I wasn't jealous of my sister, I wouldn't try to be better than her; I wouldn't push myself to be a better person!

So, jealousy can be positive... Of course, if we don't get that dangerous line of getting sick and obsessed with someone else...
