Jealousy can be mistaken for love, but
jealousy is the opposite of love. It does not desire the well-being of someone apart
from the jealous person. Jealousy demands dependency and prohibits the right to
choose what is threatening that dependency. Jealousy’s objective is to triumph
over what’s threatening.
Jealously
is two-faced. One side presents a heart of love. The other side permits anger and
rage to take control. This split was reflected in O.J. Simpson's statement concerning his
ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson's death. He said, "Let's say I committed this
crime. Even if I did it, it was because I loved her, right?”
Jealousy is not love. "Love is patient and kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love is not rude, nor self-seeking.
It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight
in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres." Jealously and love are not the same.
