On Jealousy

I heard a great insight today; that jealousy is most destructive when hopelessness runs high. Jealousy is human. If one is jealous and has hope then one can comibine the information gained from the jealousy, ie. what one really wants, and then with the surrounding hope make positive efforts. If, G-d forbid, hopelessness is pervasive, then one destroys that which one is jealous of, both in others that have it in a developed form as well as whatever amount of the desired trait one has within oneself.
