Jealousy

Why is jealousy a healthy attribute? First, what is jealousy?

Jealousy is envy, bitterness and overall unhappiness because of another’s possessions.

Human beings are built with a fear mechanism that automatically triggers when they perceive danger. Likewise, one can imagine the cavemen hundreds of thousands of years ago envious of a fellow tribesman meal or place of habitation. What does it lead to? The next morning that jealous creature goes hunting for a bigger kill, so he creates better tools. He then uses his brains and brawns to build a stronger residence.

Jealousy is one of the main components in what drives man to better himself. So remember: jealousy is healthy, jealousy has always been around, and jealousy is what will keep you motivated through thick and thin.
