Hi, my wonderful sweet babies. It's Zest and Choice. And for today's podcast, I feel like I had to get on here and speak about the utter disgustingness of jealousy, the evilness of it, what it can do, and the great lengths somebody would do if they're blatantly jealous of you. Now, let just start out by saying, but not everyone is jealous to you. Some people just simply don't like you. They don't like your personality. They find you annoying. They think you're irresponsible. They think you're stupid. They think you're ridiculous. And that's fine. But then there's some people that you did nothing to and when you try to think what you did to them

you genuinely can't think of it because that person might be jealous of you i.e. some of

your mothers or your father there I say it some of your parents are jealous to you and

I'm gonna talk of that first. A lot of us don't realize that our parents are also humans.

They feel emotions, they get depressed, they get postpartum, they get angry, sad, anxious, paranoid, and more.

But what people don't realize is this.

Your parents are probably jealous of you because your parents see their own insecurities in you.

Your parents see a more lively, a more confident, a better version of you.

And that's why sometimes your parents might try to tear you down.

For example, let's say your mom is fair skinned, right?

And you're a lot darker than her.

And let's say she tears you down because you're a skin pigment.

Or let's say your mom is darker than you and she treats all the kids that are brown and

melanated a lot better than you, the light one.

You know, stuff like that is a good example. Sometimes your parents see their own insecurity, slap back into them. And I hate to say it, but people don't ever look at their parents as people because you look at your parents as like these godly, higher, high on a pedestal figures. And I have to say that religion kind of does that in a sense, and cultural differences kind of do that in the sense.

But a lot of times your parents are jealous of you, and they lash out on you and take it out on you by tearing you down. And it's easy to tear down a child, because as they elevate and grow up, you'll be able to tear them down some more and they'll never prosper. And that sometimes feeds the evil parent's ego. Same thing with if you have a friend who hangs around you all the time, but they're always bringing up little shit about you. Like, ugh, you're acne, or ugh, you're this, you're that, or ugh, your hair, or this, that, or they're always talking shit about you. Or let's say you have a friend who, for some reason, ever since you lost weight, feels the need to always bring it up. You got your makeup done. You got in a relationship. They feel the need to always bring it up. Like, oh, bitch, you're in a whole relationship now. Or, oh, bitch, you need to get a man. You need to do this. Stuff like that. You know, sometimes people are generally jealous of you because you have something that they don't have. Or they don't want you to have it. Or you have a freedom or a sense of self that they don't have

or you have a little bit of something that they wish they had more of or you had a personality

trait that they wish they could possess you have more confidence you're more ambitious you're

outgoing you're a lot more jolly or you could probably dress better you can probably you know

taught people better you probably just have a better social life and sometimes sometimes people are jealousy for these little, bitty reasons. And I hate to say it,

but sometimes jealousy can turn into something evil. Jealousy is a normal emotion. Anyone,

and I mean anyone can exhibit it. Even someone like Rihanna, even someone like Bill Gates,
