Nowadays people seem to be jealous of everyone. Clothes, body, lifestyle. Is it possible to extinguish jealousy in every day life or is it an inbuilt human response to encourage competition?

The funniest way to overcome jealousy is to read Esther Vilar's book Jealousy. Than compare your thoughts and feelings with the Alfred Adler's explanation of the jealousy in his What Life Could Mean to You.Real fun.Stay away if you feel this adventure is not for you.

To say that we are not ever jealous of another is to admit we are not truthful. How to be funny and ovrcome jealousy?? that is an odd question> It is impossible to overcome jealousy, but if you can learn to tame it and admit it and laugh at yourself and even better get a friend to laugh along with you then you may have met your goal. I sort of see where you are headed now. My legal asst & I often sit & talk about others and we freely admit when we are jealous. Like" I .m so damn jealous that she drives a mercedes & I'm still paying off my honda" we laugh then she says to me, "yeah but you have four kids that you try to jam pack in that little car and she has no one in her life. It ma not sound like much but it makes me appreciate my family and how muchmore importan they are than material items are, so I guess that is a way of trying to be funny and laugh it off, but th ebest part is jsu tto not let it ever bother you

I think its inbuilt, It wouldn't do if nobody cared anymore. I dont know of ways to combat, although trying to compete isn't the answer either

Have a good laugh at yourself, think of the jealous person as one of your own, and give thanks to God.
