Sometime back I had this huge doubt..sometimes we're jealous of someone, but sometimes we admire people. If you look - the quality which causes jealousy and admiration could be the same.
Let's say, you admire Katrina Kaif's beauty but if you're friend or relative is beautiful you become jealous. You admire Shreya Ghoshal but if your colleague sings well you're jealous. Why?
Some things I noticed are:
Jealousy arises when you see a certain quality in a competitor.. in someone whom you consider as competition. You may not necessarily hate your competitor but since you're running the same race, you feel threatened and insecure by that person having that quality, which you have already labelled as superior or good to have quality.
Jealousy could also arise if you see a certain quality that you like, housed in a person you do not like. You don't like the person at all and hence you feel jealous that they are beautiful or smart. Whereas if you see Bill Gates, you don't feel jealous of him. You accept his smartness and admire him.
Any other reasons? Wondering...
