Do you think it's possible to live a life without getting jealous at least a little while of someone? I mean, we all have rivals right? and even if we don't get jealous directly, we tend to feel a pang of jealousy, only a little (maybe)... and i just guess that's something that's somewhat inevitable. What about you? Do you think you can live a jealous-free life?

I have never been jealous in a relationship and I try not to be jealous at all but sometimes it just seems as they say the grass is greener somewhere else. But also from this I have learned as we all know anyone can acomplish anything they put there minds to so there is no sense in being jealous unless you use it to motivate yourself.

First of all, I'm not talking specifically about jealousy in just a relationship, but in life as a whole. Secondly, it's not just a matter of accomplishments, but certain situations for which we have no control may trigger our jealous nature but the most important thing I think is to have control of the jealous nature in us, as with all other things in life.

I try my best not to be jealous of anybody because I think that I have got everything that I want and need so when I feel content then I don't need to envy / be jealous of anyone else.
We should not compare ourselves with others instead live our own lives the way we like it not the way other people live. In doing so we will feel content and a contented person does not have the need to be envy of anyone else because in his/her eye he/she has everything that he/she want. In this way one can live a jealous-free life.
I, so far, can say that I have never been jealous of anyone till today, I can't see the future but I can say that I will try to remain this way as long as I can.

Ok, good for you. Remember some of our feelings are not deliberate and by the way, have you ever had a misunderstanding?

When I was much younger then yes I probably envied (was jealous) of some people for what they had. However for a great many years, no I haven't experienced jealousy of any kind. There is no reason for me to, because I have a wonderful family, special friends who care about me, a roof over my head, food to eat and a place to sleep. I do not actually need anymore than that, so I have no reason to be jealous of anyone else.
I also have to say that I think people have to attain certain things in their life to reach the jealous-free life. At least this is what happened to me, i.e. I realised that I already had everything that was absolutely necessary for me to be happy in my life.
