Some many people want what someone else has without even working for it---mostly. I see that a lot on TV. It's not just material, it's people. Someone wants to be noticed by that parent or siblings---if not a mate.

No, but it is self-destructive and destructive to others as well. There are several emotions that are at least equally self-destructive like guilt, shame, self-loathing...

I dont' think jealousy is the most self destructive. It is certainly destructive. It can destroy all types of relationships, as well as self-esteem, and self-worth. I think guilt is the most self-destructive emotion. Once you feel guilty, it eats away at you and won't let go. Guilt rarely goes away.

Fear is the most self-destructive of emotions & is the root cause of all negative emotions. Jealousy stems from the fear of losing what's "mine;" envy stems from the fear of never attaining wealth to the extent of my peers; greed stems from the fear of going without; hatred stems from fear of that which is different from the norm, or the "status quo." Even guilt is the product of a fear that I somehow didn't measure up, whether my expectations (or those of a loved one) were realistic or not.

Yes I do. If we can't be satisfied with what we have and who we are on the inside then we just waste our lives aiming for the unattainable.

yes because there is no need for it, it is a word we use to cover our fears, and out fears need to be addressed, not let run rampant and rule our and other lives
