hi kathy another great forum girl.

HI Kathy, Thanks for the invite and for the great article. Ah yes, "The Old Green-Eyed Monster"...jealousy. Jealousy is not always a bad thing though. Being jealous to a certain degree is a good thing...it is when it gets to be excessive that it turns into something very bad and ugly! I don't think we have to necessarily be distrustful of our mate in order to be jealous either. Jealousy is a natural thing in all people, and when you care/love somebody you should have a good healthy feeling of jealousy when another wants to make moves on what belongs to you! The problem lies in the people that carry it to the extreme, or go overboard with jealousy! Those are the people that have a very unhealthy feeling of jealousy, and ones you need to watch out for. These type of people most of the time will be very dangerous, perhaps even wind up killing the person they are with! If you are with someone and they are not a little bit jealous, not even in the slightest, then I would have to wonder just how much that person really cares about you! People, especially women, have to realize the difference between a healthy relationship, and an unhealthy one...and the jealousy factor is what you really need to watch for. If it is excessive...leave that person alone...get away from them and move on, it is just a disaster waiting to happen! Thanks for this forum Kathy...another good one indeed! MArilyn L. Ali

Hello my friends, Please help me out on this Thing we call jealousy, Im asking all the men to get involved and give me your thoughts on this topic also the women as well. I would like to hear from both sides on this word Jealousy. Thank you my friends, kathy martin

Interesting interpretation Kathy. I have always understood jealousy to be the emotion a causes anger, anxiety , hurt and betrayal. Is it not the jealous person who becomes anxious and then hurt and then angered then betrayal at the lack of, or the imagined lack of anything including love, money, position etc. Jealousy in facts betrays itself causing the jealous person to step outside the bounds of decency and act rashly. It becomes as the scriptures states in Proverbs 14:30, "a rotteness to the bones." Eating away at the very foundation that holds us upright, our bones. Jealousy had its beginning in the Garden when Satan became jealous of the thought of all mankind worshipping God, and wanted that worship for himself ... thus he tempted Eve and brought mankind into a state of enmity with God and he Satan became their God. There are several biblical concordances that discuss jealousy and its results to various biblical characters. I have studied these texts extensively as I am sure you have. It is really an interesting subject and while I hold the bible as the authority on the subject, (since the word and thought originated there) it is interesting to see the evaluation that human wisdom has to offer. As always I thank you for such an interesting forum, and for inviting me. http://networkingblogs.blogspot.com (Now with sound) msbeverly@adlandpro.com
