This quote was written by Jennifer James. This quote is really interesting because it really gets me thinking of what makes me jealous and how I think of myself and how other people show and act on their jealousy. This quote is really just showing or explaining how there is no reason to be jealous that if we love ourselves enough we won’t want what other people have, or be like anybody else. That if everybody just had enough self value there would be no need for jealousy at all. It is telling us to stop looking at other people, and like the quote says to stop “scanning” them, it is saying to look at yourself and to “scan” yourself to find the good in you and love it and not care what other people think. That there is a little seed inside ourselves that grows into this jealousy, that just grows and grows and the only way for it to stop is for us to love ourselves, once we can learn to love ourselves we can love other people. Once we can learn on how to turn jealousy in to self value we will be happy with ourselves and that we can help other people with their jealousy and show them to turn all that into self value.
This quote makes me think of what I envy and who I am jealous of, it makes me think of how often I look at other people and want what they have or be like them. Now I understand that it should not be like that that I have to love myself for other people to love me. Jealousy is never the answer to anything and in order for us to grow we have to learn to let go of all that jealousy. Only then will other people envy you and you remember that pain ,thats when you lend a hand to others to show them what you have learned.
