The Wrath of the Serpents Tongue - Jealousy

Jealousy & envy becoming the first ingredient of mornings

Let’s talk jealousy, and envy. Two of the most hurtful things a man can do to another human being, behind murder or attempt in murder of course.

When it comes to jealousy within religion if it isn’t obvious this one of the deadliest sins.

And yet, you see so much of it, especially in the 21st century. It hit me similarly to an epidemic.

It was like one day it wasn’t there, cease to exist. and the next it was like all around us, strolling through the air, making me fear all of those around us.

I’m a simple, basic person just like the rest of us. You or me, I didn’t think bullying existed until I got to see it being done, to me.

They say sincerity and honestly are the best ways to go. And when you love as hard as me the line begins to blur a little between genuinity, and when someone is taking advantage of me. And some people with a big heart, we may never know.

I uhm, thought jealousy wasn’t real, funnily enough. I thought when people hated on you it was an emotion, just one, separated from the person character, and ability to love and support. Boy, was I wrong.

Jealousy has all to do with character, & the personality of these people you are deciding consciously everyday to connect, or not connect your energy to. Love and support. A jealous person thinks “I want the best for me, and for me only.” They don’t, let me say it again, they do not care about you, your feelings, but they must know the pain hidden between their intention towards you. They care about them, that's it, the me method, saying “I want, I need, I think they want to “me” succeed.” Instead, they come up with delusions built from their own insecurity castle and think well if I take it out on you.. it will make me feel/seem somewhat better?

Truth is jealousy is a disease. It is contagious. It the metaphorical sense. A mindset, and a misfortune. Imagine all humility out the window and believing you are the next Mariah Carey or Elon Musk, just because you feel entitled so. No. God gives those who are deserving the benefits because the ones stuck in ignorance believe getting there is a fixed thing, they deserve. Truth is, they all end up the same mad still, in the end because they didn’t get “all that they deserve.” Oh you got it. You just didn’t know what it is because your jealousy and insecurity ensued all your dreams became a smear or a “that should be me” campaign. Instead of the, “ if I believe I will succeed” campaign. Truth is, I wish we got to decide in life what we’re good at and what we’re not, because that sure would make a whole bunch of things, a whole lot easier. But success comes to those who believe if they build a skill and then work towards it, someday, somewhere, to make someone else feel like they could be something. Not the other way around. It takes 10000 hours of practice a day to become a pro at something. And considering everyone ends in “day” I think we got a pretty close at schedule. It also takes around a week, or so, to teach yourself a new habit, and lose an old one. But it takes one second of love, peace and compassion for yourself and towards others, to discover that WE as a population cannot control all things in life. Love another as you love yourself, and then, maybe if you’re just lucky enoug, you'll find gold; geting a chance to see all your dreams (whatever you decide they “are”) can come true. If you keep on following that rainbow, that “yellow-brick road” per say. But first, you must understand that you, need to make goal/promise just for you, just as that jealous person/friends/mom/dad/sister/brother or just a plain and simple turd of a boyfriend, does for them; because one day they won't be there anymore and you'll find yourself wondering what am I doing this for, & what/who am I doing this for again? You, silly.

Don't forget that the things that you truly believe are created in order to make yourself into the future you, want to see. Ghandi taught me that #Taurusmoons

and I love you, Te amo, Je t’aime, and keep on shining like the Gold star you are! Because good things come to those who wait, and a wise man.. was never wise by chance! I love you xx A 5:15pm- edition 2:38am
