Oy Vey. This had to be a new thread? If I'm not mistaken, the thread below talks about the same issue. Oh well, here goes, 1.Feeling resentment against someone because of that person's rivalry, success, or advantages (often fol. by of): He was jealous of his rich brother. 2. feeling resentment because of another's success, advantage, etc. (often fol. by of): He was jealous of his brother's wealth. 3. characterized by or proceeding from suspicious fears or envious resentment: a jealous rage; jealous intrigues. 4. inclined to or troubled by suspicions or fears of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or aims: a jealous husband. 5. solicitous or vigilant in maintaining or guarding something: The American people are jealous of their freedom. 6. Bible. intolerant of unfaithfulness or rivalry: The Lord is a jealous God. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/jealous As you can see, it is clearly not a good characteristic when it is directed at another human being. God being Jealous is understandable, after all He IS God, the creator of mankind. If your partner equals to God in your eyes (which for some people is actually true). . .then go ahead and be as jealous as you want. And by the way, these are the Synonyms for Jealousy Anxious, apprehensive, attentive, begrudging, covetous, demanding, doubting, emulous, envious, envying, grabby, grasping, green, green-eyed, grudging, guarded, intolerant, invidious, jaundiced, jelly, mistrustful, monopolizing, possessory, protective, questioning, resentful, rival, skeptical, solicitous, suspicious, vigilant, wary, watchful, yellow-eyed, zealous Please tell me which one of these sound like an appealing characteristic to have for a fellow human being?!!!!!!! |
