Three of Arrows - Jealousy
There may be some tension of emotions creating fear, jealousy or envy between people. Competing passions or feelings of resentment that are ultimately destructive. Resentment or negative attitudes towards family, friends or business associates born of emotional insecurity or social prejudice.
The origins of jealousy can be infinitely varied, uniquely subjective and deeply rooted in socioeconomic or psychological soil, but whether born of broken heart, a broken dream or broken economic system, beware of surrendering humility and forgiveness to feelings of envy or jealousy. The most commonly associated emotional drive linked to jealousy is loss. It is however perceived by the individual, as it behoves both the 'victim' of jealousy and the subject suffering feelings of envy to look deeply into the nature of their own motives and responsibilities.
For the jealous or possessive, there is also sometimes a feeling of 'entitlement' attached to the issue. This can be attributed to concepts of social or familial expectations born of ill-conceived peer guidance, or the failure to enforce social responsibilities and parameters. As we mature, we discover that there will always be some who seem to have more, or are gifted with copious good fortune. The healing balm for envy is humility, acceptance and forgiveness, even in the face of bitter rivalry and anger, just as the constant refocusing of your energy into a positive and creative momentum in your own life is the best healer for the effect of jealousy.
