Religion can make it worse. Are you supposing that if people were encouraged to believe in a transcendent reality, and to be encouraged by grand rituals and music and preaching, to love their neighbors, then they would put jealousy and frustration aside? – Mary Douglas
Lovers may be – and indeed generally are – enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations. – Lord Byron
Love shouldnt be about jealousy or anything like that. It should be about commitment and being able to trust that person. If you cant have that from the get-go, theres a problem. – Aaron Carter
Truth is tough. It will not break, like a bubble, at a touch, nay, you may kick it all about all day like a football, and it will be round and full at evening. – Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Professor at the Breakfast Table
