Dear Ben:

You have the right to feel jealousy. You have the right to feel anything you feel. It is not the exclusive right of people in third world countries to feel jealousy.

Behind every emotion we feel there is a valid message. The emotion is trying to deliver a message and until you hear the message and attend to it, the emotiol will persist.

Life is unfair and luck does play a big part, often enough- a life and death part.

When you accept this fact, that is relax into this reality (however unpalatable)- you gain calm, the jealously will weaken and weaken as you relax into this reality. It is the resisting of reality that causes distress.

“How do you get over jealousy?”- listen to the message it delivers and attend to it.

Please do post again- would like to read your thoughts following this input.
