| | Jealousy |
 | | Combining elements of egoism, greed, sex, instinct and fear, jealousy forms a potent and poisonous cocktail that drains our energy, enslaves our inner world, harms our relationship, causes suspicion and mistrust, and is sometimes based on a misinterpretation. |
 | | In the grip of jealousy, we entirely forget that the true nature of love is to give and not to demand, to consider the loved one before ourselves, to be united with our loved one, and to share in our loved one's joy, even when that joy involves a third person. |
 | | To work with jealousy we need, as always with the difficult emotions, to recognize it for what it is, as it occurs. |
