★ Jealousy is an annoyance at the good fortune of others. [Greece] Zeno, quoted from "The Words and Actions of Famous Philosophers" by Larsius
★ The so-called jealousy means that someone other than oneself occupies a superior position than oneself, or that something precious to oneself is taken away from oneself. The feeling that arises when someone else takes something away from you, or is about to be taken away from you.
★ This kind of emotion is a very intense emotion that desires to exclude others from their superior status, or wants to destroy others' superior status, and contains hatred.

Many jealousies are hidden deep in people's hearts, fermenting the dark functions and exploding in a distorted form. [Japan] Takeshi Tsumugi: "The Psychology of Jealousy"
