Quote by Saint Augustine

He that is jealous is not in love.

He that is jealous is not in love.

Summary

This quote implies that jealousy is incompatible with true love. It suggests that if someone is consumed by jealousy, it indicates a lack of trust, insecurity, and potentially possessiveness, rather than genuine love. True love is often described as selfless and trusting, where partners feel secure and content with each other. Jealousy, on the other hand, often stems from fear of losing someone or a sense of inadequacy. The quote suggests that love should instead be driven by understanding, respect, and a deep connection, devoid of jealousy.
