Jealousy is the fear of comparison.

Summary

This quote suggests that jealousy arises due to the fear of being unfavorably compared to others. When we are jealous, we worry that someone else might possess qualities, achievements, or possessions that we lack. This fear stems from our desire to feel superior or validated, leading to negative emotions towards the person we are jealous of. Such comparison-based jealousy often stems from personal insecurities and can hinder our ability to appreciate others' success or differences. By recognizing and addressing this fear, we can work towards overcoming jealousy and focusing on self-improvement and self-acceptance instead.
