RE: Why are we so jealous? How can we free ourselves from this egoic emotion?

in Natural Medicine • 5 years ago

This is an interesting topic, I've been trying to figure it out for myself. :)

In general, I think that jealousy is not a good, beneficial feeling and it seems like people do some bad stuff out of jealousy - gossip, verbal or even physical coflicts, bullying...

When it comes to relationships, I've definitely experienced jealousy but I'm not about drama or making a scene. I'm also not about controling or treating someone like it's my possession, same way I don't want to be treated that way.

In my opinion, when there is communication, honesty, respect and dedication to each other, there is no room left for jealousy. Another opinion of mine is that people often get into relationships thinking that way they will be "completed" - we need to be happy and comfortable with ourselves first, not expecting from other person to make us happy. With that said, I don't think I would be able to be in such an open relationship that would occasionally involve a third person. :D

Loved reading your thoughts about this topic! :)

    Maybe that is the heart of the matter... Especially dedication, I suppose as long as you are super present there isn't any room for jealousy.

    Yup, completely true

    I don't think I would be able to be in such an open relationship that would occasionally involve a third person. :D

    Then how will you know if you've overcome jealousy? Ha! Checkmate @nikolina!

    Nah, just kidding, I respect that. There's gotta be somebody else like me out there in this huge planet though.

    Thanks for your comment, made me think a lot :)

    I guess I would rather live with not knowing then... hahaha.

    Oh, I'm sure there's many out there like you and I'm sure you'll meet them. :)
