jealousy is a normal and universal human emotion. if it wasn't, nobody would have told a story of a guy coming down a mountain with stone tablets stating you shouldn't covet this or that. to covet something or even someone, is hardly the same thing as being jealous. this deals with the moral imperative for someone to control his desire. (roughly). besides that, jealousy is the child of doubt, not the mother of emotion. jealousy is an emotion, whether in response to doubt or any other mitigating factor one wishes to apply. It is normal and universal. One reason children must be taught to share. The "technical" differences between covetousness(envy)and jealousy are semantics to me. Jealousy/envy may not be the mother of emotion but can be argued to be a primary reason that modern humans won the battle of survival of the fittest. Taking what they didn't have and fighting to keep both what they stole and what they already had (food, shelter, mates). My point about the stone inscriptions was meant to illustrate that "law" is imposed on people to inhibit natural instincts/emotions. If people were not killing, stealing, envious/jealous, etc., there would have been no need to give them stern instruction to the contrary. That being said, I don't begrudge you your opinion. the difference between envy and jealousy is that envy is an emotion related to coveting what someone else has, (but not necessarily wanting them not to have it.) while jealousy is related to fear that something you have will be taken away by someone else...ie, the emotion when you fear you may be replaced in the affection of someone you love or desire. jealousy is what the op was referring to and no matter how many dots you try to connect, stone or otherwise, it doesn't support your point. especially when adding the example of killing as a means of survival. that has little to do with jealousy. Please, I am aware of the differentiation in the definitions of jealousy and envy. I(you don't have to)equate them as the same thing. Killing as means of survival has everything to do with jealousy - one has something one fears another will take (a viable mate, food or food source, fire, magic fruit, whatever). The point that I made, and make again, is that people are innately jealous. It is not learned. It is a basic and universal human emotion. People have varying control over their response to the emotion. The only way one would experience zero jealousy if "rivaled" is if one had absolutely zero concern for their partner or possession. |
