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.

The story of my recent life.' I like that phrase. It makes more sense than 'the story of my life', because we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality- and in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.

The problems of society will also be the problems of the predominant language of that society. It is the carrier of its perceptions, its attitudes, and its goals, for through it, the speakers absorb entrenched attitudes. The guilt of English then must be recognized and appreciated before its continued use can be advocated.
