Love and Jealousy
Misunderstanding about love creates jealousy. People do not know what love is, although they think they do. By “love” people mean a certain kind of monopoly, some possessiveness toward someone or something. The moment I possess a living being I have killed that person. Life cannot be possessed, like some thing that I hold in my fist. If I want to have it, I have to keep my hand open.
For centuries, it has been ingrained in us so much that we cannot separate love from jealously. They have got mixed up and almost become one energy. In fact, they are poles apart. A mind that can be jealous can not be loving, and vice versa: a mind that is loving cannot be jealous.
What causes the feeling of jealousy in love?

I think it sometimes comes from a desire to control.

Insecurity
Like the old chinese saying, if you have a butterfly, leave your hand up and let it fly, if it returns to your hand, it was meant to be….As a human, never think you are in controll of life or that person, big mistake. Life is short, and every moment of your life and that other person is a risk or chance…just take the time to appreciate the moment, and pray for it to return the next day….

Hello Trim,
You made your site simple yet good-looking but I see that you don’t write here much anymore!
I want to help people to really get to know God, especially in these troubled times. “I will send them great trouble—all the things they feared. For when I called, they did not answer. When I spoke, they did not listen. They deliberately sinned before my very eyes and chose to do what they know I despise.” (Isaiah 66:4) (New Living Translation)
