this is the first one so don't kill me if I go wrong anywhere!
okay you guys must have seen Rocky(Sylvester Stallone), great movie, absolutely fantastic!
okay sorry it was a very lame way to start. Very lame indeed!
Well what I'm gonna talk about today is something we have all experienced in our lives, something which is an important, awkward, (un)comfortable and sometimes embarrassing emotion in our lives.
Love? (no),
Fear? (of course not),
Anger? (pagal hai kya?)
Remorse? ...???? (tell you what, GO DIE RIGHT NOW!)
.
.
well then

ummmm...

Jealousy? (10 points!)
.
.
okay joke's up.
According to Wikipedia :
Jealousy is a very strong emotion, it makes us perceive things in a very different manner. Being jealous is not the same as being envious but for now let us assume that they are practically the same things.
I was jealous once....
(My inner voice) : don't lie buddy!
Me : I ain't lying!
(My inner voice) : u telling me? ME?
Me : okay okay lemme get back to my blog, I'll edit that.
(My inner voice) : Good boy! todo lo mejor(Spanish for all the best)
so where was I? Oh yes, well you see I was jealous many times in my short life(16 years, 335 days, 1 hour 36 minutes and counting).
I envied a lot of people(classmates mostly), the guy who played the guitar, the girl who always topped the class, the guy who snatched my place as the lead singer(I could kill him!), every guy who talked to my crush(I bet it happened to you!) and the most handsome guy of the class to mention a few.
All this leads to the creation of a certain desire in your heart, the desire to be the one you envy, to seize everything you ever wanted and in short, to kick everyone's ass.
But during this we forget who we are, we lose our identities and strive to become the one we always admired(or envied in our case). What one should remember is that they are great as they are, they just deteriorate as they change. One should have faith in himself/herself. It's not just about being the best, it's about performing as per your potential and becoming better. Nobody's perfect.
So being jealous is good but only as far as it helps your cause i.e gives you a reason to become better. Unhealthy competition is always disastrous.
What I learned in life is that we should focus on becoming better and stop comparing ourselves with others and when we do that, we become great, the ones to be envied,
and once people start envying us, life can't get better!
cheers! :)

According to Wikipedia :
Jealousy is a secondary emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of presenting emotions such as anger,sadness, resentment and disgust. It is not to be confused with envy.
Jealousy is a familiar experience in human relationships. It has been observed in infants five months and older. Some claim that jealousy is seen in every culture; however, others claim jealousy is a culture-specific phenomenon.
bas, zyada nahi.
