Summary
This quote suggests that jealousy is similar to a dog's bark, in that it draws attention to oneself and makes others notice and possibly take interest in what one has. Just like a dog's bark can alert thieves or intruders to a home, jealousy can attract people who might want to take advantage of someone's insecurity or possessions. It implies that allowing jealousy to consume us not only harms our own happiness but can also make us vulnerable to those who would exploit our weaknesses.
