Yes! It is completely self destructive. I never understood people who tear others down because of it. If I feel that, I always sit and ponder what I COULD do BETTER to get to that level. I let it inspire me and motivate me to to do and be better. Not hate myself and and tear someone else down for their own hard work. <3

Well, I have always found jealousy of any kind to be destructive. I firmly believe that when we are happy with who we are as humans, then we will be less likely to be jealous. I love what you say about getting better. That is one thing that we can do, and when we do... we've gotten better! And when we are better, we sometimes can even make those around us better. If not, we have improved. I, for one, will never be as beautiful as anyone else here. But I try to find my inner beauty and to make it shine.

Well said Laura, well said indeed. I confess that I too have been guilty of the jealousy more than I'd like to admit. We are only human after all, and it seems to be in our nature regrettably.

What's important is to turn a negative energy like jealousy into a positive energy like the desire to improve and to get better. That's a desire that you want to feed because it will only make you stronger and make you better.

Thank you for being honest and open as always :)
