Jealousy & Envy

“Jealousy and envy is when others are more important than you.”

As stated in Theory of Self-Relativity, the “Self-Equation” is best balanced when we become self-aware so that we can keep a dynamic balance between our Self and others. If we are too focused on our Self without consideration for others, we can become selfish. Likewise, if we are too focused on others without focusing on our Self, we can become selfless and a people-pleaser.

Another means of being focused on others is when we focus on others’ positive attributes that we might be missing. This often leads to feelings of jealousy and even envy. Jealousy and envy can actually be a good self-improvement attribute if we can be aware of these feelings. If we can recognize and identify what we are jealous or envious of; instead of focusing on others, we can bring the focus back onto our own Self so that we can create those attributes that we are jealous of, for our own Self.

As further stated in Theory of Self-Relativity:

“Fix what you’re jealous of, and you won’t feel jealousy anymore.”
