Life is hard enough with hitting oneself over the head with jealousy IMO.

It is true, we don't need to feel jealousy or envy or sadness or any of the other fifty thousand emotions we feel. The problem with emotions is that we just have to learn to live WITH them and cope with them because we don't have any control....they just ARE.
