Jealousy

Jealousy is one of the human weaknesses which is not so very uncommon. Here the reference is only to the jealous reactions to the success of a friend, so we will confine ourselves to that aspect alone.
He may even go to the extent of thinking that the friend has kept certain things that led to his success a secret from him. That means he suspects the fidelity or sincerity of the friend. He may some times openly say that the friend has left him down because of his selfishness. He would slight the success saying that it was only chance that made his friend successful. As a friend, while it is natural to expect of him to celebrate the success and to lead the party, he would avoid it and whenever there is such an occasion he would quietly keep at the back.

He would assume that he is being neglected because his friend has been successful and even may speak so. He would go on saying now that the friend has been successful and he doesn’t care for him as of old. What need has he for him? He would even go of thinking of imaginary contributions he as made for the success of the other. He would add but for the pieces of certain acts of his, his friend would not have been successful. this is all because this fellow cannot reach the same height as the other fellow. It the other one is as enlightened and out going he can easily make up; otherwise the jealousy may lead to permanent rift. This sort of jealousy is more common among women folk that men folk.
