On Jealousy

On Jealousy

“One day, I realised with all these people I was jealous of, I couldn’t just choose little aspects of their life. I couldn’t say I want his body, I want her money, I want his personality. You have to be that person. Do you want to actually be that person with all of their reactions, their desires, their family, their happiness level, their outlook on life, their self-image? If you’re not willing to do a wholesale, 24/7, 100 percent swap with who that person is, then there is no point in being jealous.” – Naval Ravikant

“My mind is a storm. I don’t think most people would want to be me. They may think they’d want to be me but they don’t know, they don’t understand.” – Elon Musk

“The supreme happiness of life consists in the conviction that one is loved; loved for oneself, or rather, loved in spite of oneself.” – Victor Hugo, Les Miserables

“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock
The meat it feeds on.” – William Shakespere, Othello

“Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.” – Carrie Fisher
