Jealousy Is a Disease

Jealousy is a disease,
Which might make one feel at no ease.
I guess everyone experiences this,
But it might be difficult to resist

The feeling of being deceived,
Is all we hope not to receive.
This feeling turns to anger,
But, one should never lose their composure.

The disease comes like a wave,
So be aware.
Jealousy is a disease,
Which might make others feel at no ease.

My friend it's much more than a disease as is , murder, hate, greed, envy, lust, self praise, drunkard, drug addict ,human wisdom I could keep going : ) this list is never ending,. But for you to be seeking and seeing this at your age brings so much joy and peace within me,. All these things I listed above are signs that we still remain under the darkness of this world stumbling around leading our own path, for when God dwells within love,peace,joy,humility, kindness,calmness,overtakes us

True my friend! This world is so broad that the amount of negativity cant be measured, we never know what might be happening on the other side...This is not going to change anyways, as where positivity resides there always is negativity seeking on other side. Have a great day Stephan! :)

Indeed, it's a disease. Many experience it. Many undergo and suffer. Part of life, of course. Yet, often, gives a challenge from the person who feels jealous. Beautifully written.
