Jealousy (SSR)

"Jealousy is just love and hate at the same." Jealousy is a crazy topic.

To love is to be completely and utterly amazed by a person or thing that you can't even bare to understand it all. To love a person has to apply a great amount of effort and focus on one thing. You have to know, feel, and understand this one thing until it becomes a second nature to you. To love or be in love someone has to posses a certain amount of feelings that puts this other thing at the basis of their lives. Not everyone can love and not everyone can hate. Hate is the exact opposite of love. Just as strong but even more dangerous, to hate you have to sit somewhere and ponder on one thing but with a negative feeling.

This is why I don't understand jealousy. In order to be jealous you first have to know what it is about a person that you like. Something about them that you absolutely love. Then you have to hate it. You have to want it for yourself so bad that it makes you mad. Isn't that tiring? How don't you get over it? How can somebody sit there and study somebody to the point that they're mad. Who does that? Who has the time for that?

I guess I can understand not liking somebody. OK that person annoys you or you just don't like them for some reason. That's fine. Or even to like somebody, you like their style or what they do. But to be jealous? How? That's too many feelings, too much effort into one thing. And then to not know whether or not you even like it. You don't know if you hate them or if you wanna be them. I don't get it. Drake probably summed it up perfectly but that's just to much for me.

  1. If this is an SSR, I'm confused what the text is you are responding to. This seems like a freewrite on jealousy.

    Have you looked at any of the research on Facebook. There seems to be a link between the amount of time people spend of Facebook and the more likely they are to be jealous of others and less satisfied with their own lives.

  2. This post amused me because it reminds me of someone. But its very deep and why worry about someone else if you can think about yourself all day?.. Lol nobody has time to hate when they should be bettering themselves. This post is so true.
