You might have heard people say, I will demolish him! Uh, I will see you! I will have my revenge upon you all! Does it really soothe any wounded soul? May be just for an instant or so because these above statements express anger of somebody who has been screwed by some near and dear. It’s alright if it’s a temporary gesture, but if someone holds it in his mind and heart in disguise and keeps planning for revenge, then it becomes very dangerous for them who keep hatred for some other person in their own heart. Jealousy and hate are the emotions that silently but surely destroy its abode; whoever nourishes the feeling of vengeance and hatred in his/her heart; these feelings destroy the individual.
Examples of jealousy, hate and vengeance, which ruined the spirit of many people can be found everywhere. A heart which is full of love can only enjoy his life peacefully. But unluckily, many of the people of our times are full tension without any specific reason; it is jealousy! Seeing happy people around you is a good thing to behold and a blessing of God, but still some people who feel ill at their heart, take it as an unpleasant experience and this attitude makes their life bleak like the hells. Seeing someone, progress should make us feel happy, but many people get jealous of the progress of others and make their own life hellish without any specific cause. They never know the truth that they are making their own life pathetic by doing so.
Put a hand on your heart and feel whether you are jealous of the progress of the people around you or not? If you are just jealous! Leave this approach of life and try loving people around you. You will feel in heaven on the Earth.
