The dual nature of jealousy.
Jealousy can be compared to a shadow that invariably follows the light of love. It is born where there is a sense of ownership, fear of loss, insecurity in oneself or in a partner. Like Lucifer, who was once the brightest of the angels, jealousy can begin with good intentions - the desire to keep a loved one close, to protect the relationship. But the stronger it becomes, the more it turns into a destructive force, distancing people from each other.
Jealousy and love: an inseparable connection?
Many are convinced that if a person is jealous, it means he loves. However, love based on trust, respect and freedom does not need jealousy. It lives in confidence, not fear. Jealousy breeds suspicion, control and restrictions, causing partners to suffer.
But why then does jealousy so often accompany love? It is human nature: the fear of loss is embedded in us at an instinctive level. This is a relic of the past, when attachment to a partner ensured survival. Today, in a healthy relationship, jealousy should not be a reason for quarrels, but a signal that you need to work on trust and self-esteem.
How to deal with jealousy?
To prevent jealousy from becoming your Lucifer, cast down from the heavens of love, it is important: Understand its source. Does the feeling arise from internal fears or a real reason?
Develop trust. An open dialogue with your partner helps to eliminate doubts. Work on self-esteem. The more confident you are in yourself, the less you will depend on other people's attention. Give freedom to each other. True love is not in chains, but in respecting boundaries. Jealousy is not a proof of love, but a test of it. It can be a small cloud that is easily dispelled by trust, or it can become a thunderstorm that destroys everything around. Lucifer fell because he could not cope with his ambitions. So jealousy can lead to the fall of a relationship if you do not realize its true nature. Love wisely, appreciate each other and do not let jealousy control your feelings. Nadya.
