For if there was one human condition that Madame Mallory understood, it was jealousy, the intense pain of realising there are those in the world who simply are greater than we are, surpassing us, in some profound way, in all our accomplishments.

Jealousy is being called up to what you can have, instead of called out for what you don't have.

Jealousy, that diseased crow pecking at your heart.

Never get involved with people who are likely to envy you at the end of the day. People like that will actually lurk in the bushes, play your mind, and pounce on you when you are at our most vulnerable state. Envy is the root of all evil, in all men and women, everywhere. They’re not going to leave your side, but for reasons that you wouldn’t like!

The source and content of information remain the same...the response creates divergent emotions,while negative response creates jealousy positive creates motivation.
