Jealousy? Is it ever healthy?

Jealousy is not healthy. I wrote a paper in college about this several years ago. Being envious of someone or something is totally different than being jealous of that person or of what that person has, i.e.

, "I am so envious that you were able to get the car you wanted. Unfortunately, I will have to keep mine a few years longer. " If I was jealous of that person, I might scratch the car or make snide remarks about the car to him/her."Get your hands off my man" is not really jealousy on your part - it may be on the part of the person who is putting the hands ON, however, because they want what you have.

I have told my kids many times that they may envy what someone has, or a concert that a friend went to, etc. , but it still leaves something for them to look foward to. Whereas, if they are jealous, it may just eat away at them and when they finally do have what the other person has, or go to a concert, it won't be as fulfilling. "My face turns blue, my eyes see red, when jealousy rears its ugly head!

Below are my take on 'Jelousy'. Jealousy on small doses is healthy on a relationship. To me, it is a sign that your partner is in love with you.

Too much jelousy, from my experience is because of the person past relationship or maybe the person feel insecure and having a trust issuesWhen it too much, it can be frustrating, annoying, painful and even embarrassing to your partner and yourself. When this feeling is out of controlled it might destroyed the relationship between you and your partner. 'Wishing to have a nice car' and 'get off my man' is totally 2 different things.'Wishing' is what I called envy, meanwhile 'get off...' is what I called jealousy.

NO WAY, JOSE! Jealousy is a bad trait, in my opinion. It's not the same kind of jealousy, for one, it's being jealous of an object.

Being jealous of your man staring a women up and down would be a good reason, but not healthy. I used to be really jealous of my guy even talking to another girl. That caused problems that should never have occured.

Small dose or large dose, I don't think it's heathy in a relationship.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
