Compassion & Jealousy - How do they correlate
When you have feelings of Jealousy, envy for others it only means that you are not happy, satisfied and contended with your own self and your own life..
When someone else is going through a hard time in life you feel compassionate for the person, you feel sad and you show sympathy for the person, but when the same person is going through a very good time and prospering in life then you would feel envious and jealous for the person. So then can you really say you are a compassionate person?
What does Compassion mean and can it be circumstantial?
Compassion means an All-Inclusive passion, there is no discrimination in passion. If you are a compassionate person it’s your basic nature and your basic nature or your characteristics does not change with circumstances. If you are a Compassionate person by nature you will not feel envious for anyone under any circumstances, you will always feel good and acknowledge other people success. You will not find yourself in any competition, you will have your own race to win, which will only be for you and not connected in any way with anyone.
A lot of people say I am a very compassionate person but they have a feeling of discontentment. When there is a feeling of discontent it means you feel a lack of something in life, and when you feel a lack of something it means that someone else has it which you don’t have, which then gives birth to a feeling of insecurity and then gradually to jealousy it the feeling of discontentment continues.
If you have a desire or wish, let it be your own and not with comparison with anyone. If you have a passion to become rich, let it be your own passion and not a competition with anyone. If my neighbor has a Rolls-Royce, does not mean I too should have it, if I feel it this way, I am then giving birth to feelings of Jealousy.
Jealousy and envy means you have a basic nature of feeling scarcity in your life. You feel jealous when you see someone else has something more than you, or has achieved more than you in life. You are always into a state of comparison and competition. Again every time you are in competition does not mean you feel jealous. There can be a healthy competition where you are competing to achieve your desired targets, but when this competing gets into comparison then it is a state of jealousy.
Jealousy also leads to insecurity. It means you do not trust your own abilities. Jealousy can lead to ruining relationships. Whereas Compassion will help you build relationships

Compassion helps you raise your happiness bar, and brings in overall well being
Jealousy helps you raise your negativity bar, and overall brings you a hostile feeling.
A Compassionate person will be in a blissful state under any circumstances💖💖

Great post. I wish more people understood this. I've followed you.
Many thanks for your kind words. Following u too.
very beautiful interpretation of compassion i didnt read before a clear statement about compassion ..
this is the basic nature of humans that he should be happy for someone happiness an if anybody is in pain he should feel sorry for him or her .. we can see children's the most beautiful creation they love each other and totally compassionate for others they feel happiness and they feel sad for other when somebody in pain
Very true Children are the best example of Love and Compassion. They never get judgemental and they never try to turn down anyone. As we grow up we loose this innocence with all the external influences
great post! upvote and thanks!
Thank you @prostosun
I liked your article. I will follow you.
Thank you @cranium
Aahh the so many wonderful lessons you talked about in this post are exactly what we need to live a better life and precisely what I keep talking about. Reminders like these are great for manifesting inner happiness. Good job as always.
Thanx dear @sharoonyasir, yes we need these lessons very regularly in life. Things get sometimes so hard and difficult with us that we dont realise when we slip off and hold onto unmecessary things.
Sadly, this is the nature of humans. When we are in misery we want others to be miserable too. Like they say, Misery loves company! But I agree with you, we must overcome these feelings of jealousy and envy!
Human nature gets manupilated by all the external influences which is very very sad. I wish that people can truly live with the feeling of Love and Compassion always
