Quote by Max Frisch

Jealousy is the fear of comparison.

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.

The essence of the Liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they are held: instead of being held dogmatically, they are held tentatively, and with a consciousness that new evidence may at any moment lead to their abandonment.
