I apologise, I made it sound like jealousy is a choice, I think that reflects my poor understanding of this feeling rather than any reality.
Thinking about it I can see that jealousy is something some people experience more than others and to a greater intensity. Why this is so I don't understand, I also don't understand why I don't seem to feel jealousy (I did in childhood, but not in adulthood) - perhaps one day I will feel it, perhaps the truth is that I've had a blessed life with no real problems up until now.
