Jealousy

We see it in the workplace and family environment. It is a cancer all on its own. It's petty and cruel.
It doesn't even have to justify itself, it just is! You sometimes see it going from generation to generation. Mother against daughter, daughter against mother. Sister against sister. Father against son and so on. It's a poison that knows no boundaries.

It destroys people and families. It is ego at part of its worst. It's wanting what others have just to take and not really caring about what it is? Sometimes that thing is relationships, possessions, people. Sometimes its just about being mean. It's not even like you can say its about how a person was raised or treated.

It's a very destructive emotion that will eventually consume it's host. It will leave them isolated and more alone. It becomes an unquenchable addiction for those that indulge it. It's one of those things, that even if they seek help from a professional. It might or might not help them find what they're starving for? It just depends on how real they can get with themselves.

What's even worse is that it's perpetuated as normal and acceptable on TV and in other types of media. Jealousy is normal to a point. When it start to become destructive to others and the self it is a sickness.

It's become this sick form of drama and entertainment. Only the thing is, there is nothing funny about it. Society as a whole is becoming more tragic with its insensitivity towards its fellow man. Somewhere along the way, it became acceptable to be cruel and blame victims.
