More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Beyond love, beyond unrequited love, perhaps even beyond any other passion known to humanity, deep, deep in the depths of the turgid, clinging, swamplike pit of despair that lies dormant within every soul, lurks jealousy. jealousy, that most demeaning and debilitating of emotions. jealousy, which can double the strength of the love upon which it is based, but whilst doubling it, warp and pervert it, untill it is no longer recognizable as the thing of beauty it once was. jealous love is no more like true love than mr hyde was like dr jekyll or a stagnant swamp is like a freshwater lake.
Lying Jealous Unrequited Love
Flailing and thrashing, buttercup wept and tossed and paced and wept some more, and there have been three great cases of jealousy since david of galilee was first afflicted with the emotion when he could no longer stand the fact that his neighbor saul's cactus outshone his own. (originally, jealousy pertained solely to plants, other people's cactus or ginkgoes, or, later, when there was grass, grass, which is why, even to this day, we say that someone is green with jealousy.) buttercup's case rated a close fourth on the all-time list. it was a very long and very green night.
Night Long People
Jealousy is always born with love, but does not die with it. in jealousy there is more of self-love than of love to another.
Self Doe Born
Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. the immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.
Love Jealousy Mistake
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
Love Forgiveness Attitude
I don't think jealousy has much of a connection with real, objective conditions. like if you're fortunate you're not jealous, but if life hasn't blessed you, you are jealous. jealousy doesn't work that way. it's more like a tumor secretly growing inside us that gets bigger and bigger, beyond all reason. even if you find out it's there, there's nothing you can do to stop it.
