The Classless Jealousy

Jealousy is not the portion of the unsuccessful alone; even the prosperous are consumed with envy. Jealousy is not the lot of the poor; even the wealthy are corrupted with spite. Jealousy is not the flaw of the worldly alone; even the religious carry it behind sacred veils. Jealousy is not the preserve of the unlearned; even the educated are not spared its poison. Jealousy is not the garment of the uncivilized; even the well-travelled are ensnared by it still. If jealousy be the final stage into witchery, then no wonder even the exalted cast the darkest spells.
