About This Quote

Jealousy is a popular emotion. It makes people feel good and it makes them feel bad. The popular saying, "We are often jealous of our little secrets," means that we are often jealous of the things that people don’t know about us. We worry that they might find out what is going on behind our backs, but no one really cares about the private thoughts of others.
