The dictionary defines jealousy as the state of being jealous. Feeling jealous has a few derogatory meanings: Being jealous means wanting to keep what one has possessively, it also means feeling unhappy at someone esle's success. Another word oftern used for the last meaning is "envious". Of the two words" envious" means wishing one has something that another has, and "jealous" means something even more unpleasant - actually hating the person who has received good fortune. There are a couple of good uses of the word, but these are not so commonly used nowadays. We can say that a person guards his home or his honour jealously. But usually, the word "jealousy" brings mind negative and undesirable qualities.

The feeling of jealousy is one of the most dangerous that a person can feel towards another. A person who is jealous almost immediately loses his ability to reason. If a man feels jealous about another's achievements, chances are he spends a lot of time feeling angry at that person, for something that he has probably gained through his own hard work. Sometimes this anger can lead to violence. Violence usually takes place when all reasoning ends. We read of violent crimes committed by men in love, when the woman he loves loves someone else. Immediately the loser thinks he is a victim and acts as if he has been cheated. He cannot see that all that has happened is that the woman has chosen according to her own inclinations. If the man had truly loved her, then jealousy has no place in his mind. He should think of her happiness. Though the illustration mentions only make jealousy, female jealousy has been known to be just as vicious.
