The Purpose Of Life: What leads us towards our True Purpose

Feelings- 2. Jealousy

After hate, the most hated human feeling is jealousy. What is jealousy and what does it have to do with our purpose?

Jealousy is a human feeling coming from another feeling called "greed", meaning that one is not content about what one has.

Now, just like hate, we all are jealous of someone.

You are, I am. Same goes the other way round, there are people who are jealous of you and there are people who are jealous of me.

This is because, if there is something that one person has, there is always going to be a person who doesn't have it but wants it and that leads to jealousy.

That something can be anything, for example, the two most things that most people don't have but want to have are money and fame, but there are also people who have these things and they are the ones who are going to be envied by the ones who don't have it.

Jealousy is something that most people want to get rid of, people say that one needs to be content with what they have and that is actually very illogical in current times. If you go by this logic, then do you expect a poor person to stay poor forever? Do you expect an unemployed person to be unemployed forever?

This saying might've been true centuries ago but in today's time things have changed, you need to have jealousy in you because without jealousy comes no competition and without any competition how do expect to grow?

With that said, there are two types of jealousy-

First, the jealousy that transforms into healthy competition.

Second, the jealousy that makes us do atrocious acts and make you a hideous personality.

Always channel power from the first one, if we ever choose the second path we will lose the sight of your purpose completely. Never hurt anyone just to fulfill ourselves because that will one day for sure come back and take everything from us, we will forever have a guilty conscience.

We don't always have to be jealous, when we achieve our purpose in life and have enough to fulfill our needs and the needs of our loved ones, that moment we must leave all the feelings of jealousy and walk on the path of contentment. Easier said than done, but it needs to be done because if we don't leave behind the feeling of jealousy we will never be able to free ourselves. Always wanting, wanting and wanting till we breathe our last breath and not receiving a particular thing in the end will forever bind our soul and even if we achieve our purpose like that it will be nothing but a failure.
