    It's funny, it is when there is the least trust that what trust there is is most likely to be broken.

    But that doesn't correlate with jealousy or the lack thereof.

    O really think feeling insecure is the principle root of jealousy.

    Well I agree.

    Jealousy is certainly a weakness. That maybe we all possess from time to time. I know when a friend of mine won a lump some of money i was Jealous of him. Especially having it rubbed in my face. So i guess we all own some Jealousy

    I agree Raven. It's all down to the situation that brings it out in the individual.

    I must say that I was pretty jealous when my parents gave my deceased brother's 2 push bikes to my sister and her son and also my brothers motorbike to her son as well.

    That I got very jealous about, but I got a car so I realised it was just silly and material possessions are not that important really.

    Time for a distinction, I think. Envy vs. jealousy. They are similar but not equivalent.

    Jealous
    1 a : intolerant of rivalry or unfaithfulness b : disposed to suspect rivalry or unfaithfulness
    2 : hostile toward a rival or one believed to enjoy an advantage
    3 : vigilant in guarding a possession <new colonies were jealous of their new independence -- Scott Buchanan>

    Envy
    1 : painful or resentful awareness of an advantage enjoyed by another joined with a desire to possess the same advantage
    2 obsolete : [SIZE=-1]MALICE[/SIZE]
    3 : an object of envious notice or feeling <his new car made him the envy of his friends>

    Eh... close enough to me.

    Envy is desiring what you don't have.

    Jealousy is rage associated with the possibility someone else mey be interested in someone you are close to.

    These aren't rigorous or complete definitions, but they distinguish between the central meanings of the two words.

    lexicons erode with time, words are misused... it's hard to say what's the meaning at times... but I suppose we can go with Cog's definition.

    Somewhat... but it'd also be nice to know that you had done something to earn that money, too. However, you could do some good with the money in either case (as well as some unspeakable evils -- looks at Raven with his Avril Lavigne cd).

    I could get over the disappointment of not having earned a couple million dollars of lottery winnings.

    Why do you seek to corrupt even more innocent minds with insanity, and unusual urges to pun?

    Edit: just so I stay on topic. I've never really gotten jealous. Green with envy, even a few times where envy has made me want to scream, but never jealous. Probably because I've never had anyone worth getting jealous over.
