Jealousy, the Poison of Hearts.
Anyone on the receiving or giving end of today’s topic, please raise your hand. I’m guessing all of you have faced it either way. It could be between siblings, lovers, married couples, friends and the list goes on.
I’m particularly curious about jealousy in a relationship. Does your current partner have an issues with your ex? I mean in a really hostile way to the extent it ruins the mood? What is it that triggers this jealousy? Does it stem from some insecurity in that individual?
My personal opinion. It’s utter rubbish. Why do you think they coined the term, ex? It’s in the past. It’s over and done with. So why are we dwelling on the past and making the current and future miserable? It’s different if someone doesn’t let go of the past and choses not to embrace the future. It’s different if they are still harbouring regrets. It’s different if he/she is cheating on their current partner, with their ex. I stand by the old adage, “Innocent until proven guilty”.
There is no point making the waters murky, by stirring the mud at the bottom. Leave the mud as it is, at the bottom. Buried. If not for the past, would he or she be, what they are today? It’s the lessons learnt, which they carry forward. It’s important for the individuals’ personal growth.
In conclusion, banish the jealousy. It does not bring any value or good to the relationship. If you think you can’t, then I think you should sit down and really ask yourself what you want. Time can be spent in much better ways, than fretting and worrying over trivial matters. It makes you old. ^__^
