Have you ever had the feeling of owning everything you ever wanted and still wanted more? Or simply eager to take it away from your rival who possesses something that you might find fascinating? Or maybe afraid you might lose something you love unexpectedly to another person? Well, the answer is simply because of the human nature that is to be best and beat the rest.
But the material world is build up by all those nasty things. Notice that now we are in the material world. So we see these things in our everyday occurrence such as politics, jealousy, enviousness, anger, depression, lust and pride. Not only that, material tendencies are even there in the animal kingdom itself.
Some of you might be wondering, why do all of us are so materialistic when it comes to be in the situation whereas to determine who is the leading character?? This is simply an emotion that is within every individual regardless of their age which is envy. Enviousness is due to the nature of material consciousness, material desire, lamentation and greed. This is due to a cause when the patient (a person who suffers from envy) has the perspective of someone who is superior in many aspects compare to himself such as looks, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lack of it. When a person is envy, the situation tends to be serious where it doesn't matter even if they are friends or family members. What to speak of enemies, there is envy even between husband and wife, the most intimate relationships. There is a saying “~ The world of empirical morality consists for the most part of nothing but ill will and envy.” by the great German writer and polymath name Johann Wolfgang von Goethe which has greatly acknowledged me to see what the world has morph into.
Besides that, jealousy is also a major problem with teenagers and adults. Based on my years of studies, I can’t possibly imagine of how many of my friends have fall to this emotion distress in my pass encounters. Jealousy occurs when three or more individuals are involved to be the rightful owner of something. I believe some of you might be confuse with jealousy and envy. Thus, to fully understand the mechanism of jealousy, here is an example of a situation. Try to imagine a boy name Joe and two girls name Christina and Angela respectively. Christina and Joe were couples but Angela feels that she would be a better girlfriend compare to Christina. So Angela (the jealous person) won’t allow Christina to enjoy it. To make the matter worse, the jealous person might tend to harm you or even snatches away what was rightfully or seems to be yours for the moment. As a saying goes, “Love sees sharply, hates sees even more sharply, but Jealously sees the sharpest for it is love and hate at the same time.” by the Arabic proverbs.
For further knowledge, envy and same goes to jealous is considered a sinful act among most religions such as the Christians, Islam, Hindus and so on. The Christian Catholics, according to their bible, The book of Exodus (exo pg 20:17) states "You shall not covet your neighbor house; you shall not covet your neighbor wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." and consider one of the seven most deadly sins of the Catholic Church.
In an Islamic country such as Malaysia, envy (Hassad in Arabic) and jealous is considered very harmful and strictly forbidden to fellow Muslims whereby the Prophet Mohammad said, “Envy influences faith disruptively just as aloe spoils the taste of honey.” and the Prophet also states “Do not feel happy about troubles of your brother-in-faith(whom you envy).Allah, He Who is the Most High and Mighty, thus bestows on him His blessing (He will save him from the difficulties), whereas you are being tested [whether you are able to sympathize with other man’s grief and try to help him, or you are happy about his troubles]"is strictly stated in Holy Qur’an. The Holy Qur'an and the Bible also states that the first sin in heaven was cause by Iblis (Satan) whereby Iblis envied the privileged position of the newly created Adam and Eve.
What have happen to the world now? That answer will remain blank.
