Spiritually Speaking, what is the difference between "false pretenses" and flat out lies?

Fear is an instinct. As an instinct, it demands a response, before it wil stfu. Jealousy, is what happens when an emotional desire, outwieghs our own emotional security.

The healthy desire, doesn't sublimate itself. Instead, it becomes an irrational need to posess and control. Regular and protracted jealousy, is probably the most destructive emotional dynamic in the human psyche.

To get a grip on it, a sufferer needs to accept the fact that there are things, over which he has no control. Some people find this nearly impossible to do. Jealousy should be no more than a quick twinge, just to remind us that we need to let stuff go, and trust in the people around us.

The longer we keep hold of jealousy, the more disproportionate it gets, and our ability to make balanced, and rational decisions, eventually degrades into socially unacceptable and destructive behaviour. Often leading to mental meltdown. Playto.

The statement that people do not have innate instincts, is the most ridiculous thing I've read all day! Do you have any references for this information, or did it just come bubbling up out of nowhere? Edit@ Playto, it's not the most ridiculous thing I've read all day.

(I've just managed to read the rest of your post!) Such perceptive understanding of human nature as this begs the question of whether you are actually on the same page as the rest of the species. "There is actually no difference at all between anger, and jealousy"? Were you raised in the wild, by well meaning rodents?

Not too much of a difference. Jealousy is based in a fear of losing something/someone, as is anger. One can be fearful without being angry or jealous, but not the other way around.

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.
