Haruki MurakamiWith jealousy, a parasite takes root in your heart. It becomes a cancer that eats away at your soul.
About This Quote
Jealousy is a disease that creates a negative aggressive response when you are not getting what you want when you want it. Jealousy can be destructive to the heart and soul of the one that is feeling the jealousy. It can be difficult to escape at times, but in time, one can learn to control their emotions and choose to live their life without the parasitic jealousy.
