"Hate us, 'cause they ain't us."
Jealousy is a weird concept to me. It's rooted in superficialities and material things and objects. So if you aren't impressed by people's possessions, status, or talents, it's not going to land if people covet those things in you.
For years, the spirits have warned me that others are jealous of my superficial qualities. The message didn't land because the messengers weren't going deep enough.
ANYONE can have beauty, wealth, status, or material possessions if they work hard or pay enough to have them. If everyone can have it, then that's not real jealousy.
But you know what everyone can't have?
Human decency. Character. Thoughtfulness. Genuine give a fukcs about other people.
Inner beauty and compassion are earned through hardship. They are in a person's nature. They can't be bought, and frankly, if you are a full-sized adult and lack these traits, it's really hard to develop them.
And you know what drives people who don't possess these qualities absolutely bonkers? Being in the room with someone who does. This is where abusers will often try to dim the light or break down someone with genuine kindness, just to test how deep your selflessness runs. And that's what distinguishes someone who perpetuates abuse from someone who ends the cycle. A person of strong character would rather hurt than see another suffer.
So, the next time you feel dimmed or bruised, consider that it is not your possessions or status that others envy but your good-hearted nature.
Rise above and keep your head high, knowing you possess a renewable, endless resource that will trigger users, abusers, and manipulators.
