About This Quote

Jealousy is the most detestable of motives. A person is jealous if they are afraid of losing someone or something they already hold dear. Jealousy can be expressed in many ways, but it always leads to pain and destruction. When jealousy takes hold, it can make you do things you would not otherwise do.

It can make you act in ways that are self-destructive or hurtful to others. And, it can cause you to focus on things that are not important.
