Jealousy



The act of being Jealous or acting out of spite of someone else is not against the law or really commented on unless it ends in murder. Jealousy is quite simply Human nature. It is out of this instinct that small children act all of time.
Whenever you see two children playing together one of them will inevitably snatch the toy off the other one and it will either result in tears or a fight. However what is really sad about this flaw in our makeup is that it still happens when you get older. People will scratch your car out of jealousy, slander your name out of spite of who you are and it either ends in tears or with a fight, which, in turn, leads to a court hearing.
There are other more serious acts of jealousy which constitute as being exceptionally bad. Someone may wish to kill you because you have everything they could never hope to have, they may kill your children out of jealous rage or your wife or husband because they feel that he/she should have been rightfully theirs.
The good thing about looking at jealousy is that there are no two ways to view it. To be jealous to whatever degree is always a bad thing to do and is so inescapable and so, though it wasn't discussed in class, it fits perfectly with the module.
