The Trail Of Thoughts: From Your Jealousy To My Strength

The human brain is so complex. How do all of us have the same structure of brains but still think so diversely? The same brain structures, and yet I might absolutely like something but someone else can hate it!

A Portrait Of A Head Of A Human Being

The human brain is the centre of all human emotions. Basic information. You know, just in case you thought it's the heart. All those emotions of happiness and sadness, and anger and hate and love, jealousy. It's all in your brain.

While I name jealousy beside every other feeling, there's something interesting. This feeling of jealousy isn't a distinct feeling. Jealousy can actually encompass every emotion. What emotions you ask? Happiness, sadness, anger, hate, love, disappointment, self-loathing, and what not?

You might feel happy doing something you love, and that might induce jealousy in me. This will make me hate you. Whenever you will try interacting with me politely, it may lead to scenarios you will not like. Out of my anger.

Jealousy makes me compare. Compare your capabilities with my own. Why am I not able to achieve what he/she can? Self-loathing creeps in. Disappointment is already in the scene. Sadness is all I have now.

Do you see what jealousy does? It spoils everything. Everything that comes its way. It disturbs human relationships, hurts people around us, reduces our efficiency to be better in our own work, wastes our time, wastes other people's time, too. And in the long term, it makes us feel that we aren't enough. Enough to achieve what we want to.

If you notice, it is like a dagger that stabs the holder of the dagger, while scratching the other person a bit here and a bit there. The people who would be the victim of our jealousy will leave us, today or tomorrow, with mere scratches. But remember you are going to stay with yourself forever. Don't stab yourself.

What is attention? It is a dangerously powerful tool. Attention to somewhere it shouldn't be, leads to lots of stress and reduces my capabilities. If I divert my attention to something I shouldn't, then I become a part of something I shouldn't be. See my point?

If I am worried about what makes the person jealous of me, I will be wasting my time worrying about the most useless things. All the self-loathing and disappointment and sadness that would have been restricted to only that person has now extended to me. I don't know what to do. How should I prove my worth to them? What should I do? What if more people start hating me the way they do?

This attention is dangerously powerful. Giving it away deprives me of satisfaction. Not giving it away deprives them of the power of affecting me. It determines what happens in my life. It determines how clearly I see things. It determines how I will take up greater future ventures. Will I fear of being approved from people who don't matter? Will I spend my time being worried about who hates me? It determines the present me. It determines the future me. Does anything else matter?

From someone's hatred stemmed from jealousy to my weakness of trying to make everyone pleased with me, to not caring anymore, to finally making someone's hatred a reason to work harder, somewhere I have made their jealousy my strength. And trust me, once you learn to turn your weaknesses into strengths, you have won against your strongest competitor. Yourself.

Keep Smiling! 😊
