Show GODS OF LOVE AND JEALOUSY Sometimes Associated, But Not By Any Means Inseparable, as Generally Gen-erally Supposed. The prevalent idea appears to be that there can be no love without a pretty large admixture of jealousy, and that, conversely, almost every case of jealousy springs from some misguided mis-guided love affair. Whether this idea Is the right one or not is decidedly open to question. Ideal love affairs preclude jealousy altogether, and where absolute trust and confidence exist thpre is no room at all for the green-eyed monster. One curious attribute of the jealous woman who plans to sweep her rivals out of the way is that she generally shows a marked lack of brains in her methods. Jealousy not only blunts all her finer feelings, but at the same time it causes a curious confusion of mind, which fails to take the proper grasp of consequences and which is utterly illogical and childishly reckless in its ' workings. One has only to glance at the daily papers to see this fact practically illustrated. illus-trated. The schemes of the jealous woman are the most childishly immature imma-ture in the world, and in almost every case fall to pieces and bring speedy retribution on her own head. For not alone does the victim suffer. The worst generally conies upon the plotter herself. her-self. Love very often does bring a certain cer-tain amount of jealousy In its train. But at the same time it is entirely up to ourselves to curb those feelings and to keep them from outward and visible expression. Moreover, it is perfectly true that, although love generally dos admit of jealousy, the latter can exist and flourish pretty successfully without with-out love. Therefore In the last analysis we may most assuredly claim that jealousy jeal-ousy and love are two distinct and quite separable affairs. Savannah News. |
