Quote by Mason Cooley, City Aphorisms, Fo

Jealousy is inconsolable because it cannot know the beloved

Jealousy is inconsolable because it cannot know the beloved

Summary

This quote suggests that jealousy is a feeling that cannot be comforted or relieved because it stems from a lack of understanding or knowledge about the person one is jealous of. Jealousy arises when someone desires what another person has, and in this case, it implies that one's inability to fully comprehend the beloved's thoughts, feelings, or motivations makes it impossible to overcome the feeling of envy. Without true insight into the beloved, jealousy remains unappeased, highlighting its deeply rooted and irrational nature.
