Why are Relatives Always Jealous on One's Success?
« on: December 08, 2005, 04:32 PM »

Have you ever noticed that your relatives such as your cousins, aunties and uncles get jealous when they find out you are prosperous or really doing good. well i don't know about you. but please give your opinion.

For example: my sister happened to travel to america and all of a sudden, my aunty is always telling her children to quickly graduate from university so that they can travel. don't you see that as jealousy? also my cousin is always like hmmm, your sister is enjoying in america, i will come and meet her there. As for me i feel those comments are not good. they are only envious about her. what do you guys think?

they might just be ambitious. but sometimes, ambitions without any assurance of getting there may lead to jealousy. pray hard sha, you know what they say: "jealousy is the root of all evil."

It happens when the family member is successful and others are not, but some people can be very greedy and this makes the unsuccessful member not only jealous but also angry and it makes them react.

i feel jealousy is natural in human but it depends
on how you control yours it can either amount to competition
within a family circle which can develop into serious issues
and quarrel
