Jealousy

Jealousy has seemed to me as one the most natural of uncomfortable feelings. It must be one the most tribal of instincts. You can tell that from the way it happens to you. You realize of it only post it has occurred inside you. There is an element of helplessness to it. So I went about collecting quotes around it. The intent was to open myself to its effects and causes, and find out those uncomfortable and unfamiliar places they come from. And in the process, liberate myself, to some extent, with the only way one can...the knowledge of it
