论嫉妒
1
嫉妒基于竞争。领域相异,不成竞争,不易有嫉妒。所以,文人不嫉妒名角走红,演员不嫉妒巨商暴富。当然,如果这文人骨子里是演员,这演员骨子里是商人,他们又会嫉妒名角巨商,渴望走红暴富,因为都在名利场上,有了共同领域。
在同一领域内,人对于远不及己者和远胜于己者也不易有嫉妒,因为水平悬殊,亦不成竞争。嫉妒最易发生在水平相当的人之间,他们之间最易较劲。当然,上智和下愚究属少数,多数人挤在中游,所以嫉妒仍是普遍的。
2
伟大的成功者不易嫉妒,因为他远远超出一般人,找不到足以同他竞争、值得他嫉妒的对手。
悟者比伟大的成功者更不易嫉妒,因为他懂得人生的限度,这时候他几乎像一位神一样俯视人类,而在神的眼里,人类有什么成功伟大得足以使他嫉妒呢?一个看破了一切成功之限度的人是不会夸耀自己的成功,也不会嫉妒他人的成功的。
3
对于别人的成功,我们在两种情形下愿意宽容。一是当这种成功是我们既有能力也有机会获得的,而我们却并不想去获得,这时我们仿佛站在这种成功之上,有了一种优越感。另一是当这种成功是我们既没有能力也没有机会获得的,我们因此也就不会想去获得,这时我们仿佛站得离这种成功太远,有了一种淡漠感。
倘若别人的成功是我们有能力却没有机会获得的,或者有机会却没有能力获得的,我们当警惕,因为嫉妒这个恶魔要乘虚而入了。
4
当我们缺少一样必需的东西时,我们痛苦了。当我们渴求一样并非必需的东西而不可得时,我们十倍地痛苦了。当我们不可得而别人却得到了时,我们百倍地痛苦了。
就所给予我们的折磨而言,嫉妒心最甚,占有欲次之,匮乏反倒是最小的。
5
嫉妒是对别人的快乐(幸福、富有、成功等等)所感觉到的一种强烈而阴郁的不快。
在人类心理中,也许没有比嫉妒更奇怪的感情了。一方面,它极其普遍,几乎是人所共有的一种本能。另一方面,它又似乎极不光彩,人人都要把它当作一桩不可告人的罪行隐藏起来。结果,它便转入潜意识之中,犹如一团暗火灼烫着嫉妒者的心,这种酷烈的折磨真可以使他发疯、犯罪乃至杀人。
6
成功有两个要素,一是能力和品质,二是环境和机遇;因此,对成功者的嫉妒也相应有两种情况,一是平庸之辈的嫉贤妒能,另一是怀才不遇者的愤世嫉俗。
7
当嫉妒不可遏止时,会爆发为仇恨。当嫉妒可以遏止时,会化身为轻蔑。
在仇恨时,嫉妒肆无忌惮地瞪视它的目标。在轻蔑时,嫉妒转过脸去不看它的目标。
8
嫉妒是蔑视个人的道德的心理根源之一。每一个人按其本性都是不愿意遭到抹杀的,但是,嫉妒使人宁肯自己被抹杀也不让更优秀者得到发扬。在一概抹杀之中,他感到一种相对的满足:与损失更大的人相比,他几乎可以算是获利了。
9
既然嫉妒人皆难免,也许就不宜把它看作病或者恶,而应该看作中性的东西。只有当它伤害自己时,它才是病。只有当它伤害别人时,它才是恶。
10
一个精神上自足的人是不会羡慕别人的好运气的,尤其不羡慕低能儿的好运气。
11
我所厌恶的人,如果不肯下地狱,就让他们上天堂吧,只要不在我眼前就行。
我的嫉妒也有洁癖。我决不会嫉妒我所厌恶的人,哪怕他们在天堂享福。

Talks about jealousy
Part one
Jealousy bases on competition.It neither forms competition nor be liable to generate jealousy in different profession.Hence,the scholar won't be able to envy the popular of famaous actors,the actor won't be able to envy the suddenly rich of merchant princes .However,if in the bottom heart the scholar is an actor and the actor is a merchant both of which will envy famous actors and merchant princes and be willing to be pop and wealthy in a night for they all in the vanity fair focusing in the same area.
In the same field,human isn't easy to be jealous of the ones who are far behind oneself or far excellent upon self for the gap of ability is so huge.Jealousy most be able to emerge among the persons with equal ablility between whom the argue erupt at most.Therefore,there are few persons of utmost wise and stupid while a large amount of people crowded in the middle layer as a result the grudge is common.
Part two
The great achiever aren't jealous with ease because he far supasses the normals without discovering the opponent matching against him or worth envying.
The saint is less able to be jealous than winner for he touches the limitation of life and overlooks the mortals as a divine in the eyes of who whatever the great portion of human worth envying?The man who have an insight into the all extent of sucess won't be able to boast his sucess or envy the sucess of others.
Part three
To the sucess of others,under the very two circumstances we are sure to be tolerable.One is that if the particle of success we own both of ability and opportunity to acquire but not mean to then a sense of superiority emerges as if we are on the top of the sort of sucess.And the other is that if the particle of success we own neither ability or oppurity to acquire so that we won't be able to catch then the a sense of indifference emerges as if we stand far from the sort of success.
While we should be alarm if the sucess of others we either own the ability or opportunity incapable of acquiring for the jealousy will occupy our mind smoothly.
Part four
We feel grief when we are shot of a material of nessary.We feel times more grief when we lack a substance of no nessary but unable to get.We feel a hundred sader when we can't acquire the things whereas others do it.
According to the torment brought about for us,the jealousy ranks first,the inferior is the desire of occupation,deficiency is the last.
Part five
Jealousy is a sort of strong and depressed feeling of unhappy for the joy(happiness,rich,sucess,etc.) of others.
Among human's psychology,maybe there is no stranger emotion than jealousy.On one hand,it's extremely common almost a shared instinct embodied in everybody .On the other hand,it seems to be bitterly disrepute so everyone desires to search it as an untold sin to hide.Consequently,it transforms into subconsciousness as a gout of dark fire scalds hotly the heart of envious man which sort of bitterly and intense torment is enough to drive him be crazy, commit a crime even murdering.
Part six
There are two main elements involved in scuess,one is ability and character;the other is circumstance and opportunity.Therefore,there exist two conditons in the jealous of sucess accordingly,one is the vulguar of envying capability and character;the other is the wasted talents of being angry against the world .
Part seven
When the jealousy is arrested in vain,it erupts hatred,reversely it turns as slight .
While being hatred ,jealousy fearlessly eyes upon his foe.While being contemptuous,jealousy turns its face not to see its target.
Part eight
Jealousy is one of the psychology origins of scorning individual moral.Everyone should not want to be wept off spontaneously,however,jealousy shall make people would let oneself being wapt off rather than promoting the more excellent man.After a mass of erasure,he feels a comparatively satisfaction:Compare to the man who suffer more loss,more or less he is profitable.
Part nine
Since everyone can't escape from jealousy,maybe we should consider it as a moderate material without treating it either as good or evil simply.Only when it hurts oneself,it's a sick.Only when it hurts others,it's an evil.
Part ten
A person who is spiritually fulfilled is impossible to envy the lucky dogs espically the fortunate of imbecile.
Part eleven
If my hatred man is unwilling to go to the hell,let he rise into the heaven so long as he is cleared off in front of me.
My jealousy has neatness as well.I never envy my disgusted persons,even if they enjoy themselves in paradise.
