Is there a 'normal' amount of jealousy? (I'm only talking about the 'emotion' of jealousy, not the actions that usually go along with it and not only in romantic relationships but all across the board) When does it become unhealthy? What are your thoughts on the emotion of jealousy?

A normal amount of jealosy is a single thought on the subject matter. Not letting it take control of your thought process is key. This emotion branches off of greed and envy. Again not bad things unless you run the wrong way with them. If taken correctly this emotion can be seen as a compliment of your standards. If someone wants your signifigant other and you see it you make the choice whether to get angry or to say "Yes I am lucky to have someone that is desireable by others."
I leave this for someone else to run with.

Jealousy is normal to me when you are jealous of someone but get over it. I think it can be a good thing when people become jealous, then use that jealousy to improve themselves. However, jealousy gets out of hand easily. When people dislike others or are mean to others/mad at them just because that person is jealous of the other, that's when jealousy becomes bad. However, overall jealousy can be okay as long as it's under control and either forgotten about or used to improve yourself.

that's a great question. well jealousy can eb considered normal, but there are people who tend to control that feeling or never even allow it to rise to the surface of their hearts anyway. when someone acknolwedges that they have somthing, they have to come to realize that not everyone has it as well. likewise when someon else has something and they dont have it, they should realize they have somethign that person does not have. evn if they dont see it. although, that may be a bit much to ask of man kind.... XD
it becomes unhealthy when that person obsesses over t and wishes bad for that person. thats SIK.
personally, i dont like to be jealous of other people. it means that i knwo they're better then me ins omething. i knwo there are alot of people who are better then me ina lot of things, but my personality doesn't allow me feel that way.... abnormal a bit i know...
besides, why fret about something u dont have when you could be enjoying something you do have.
and the thign u are jealous because of, the only reason ur jealous of it, is the fact that you dont have it, and therefore tend to put more value on it...
hope ur question's answered...

not sure what you advise "honest". honest relies upon on what her husband's earnings grew to become into, I advise he's a wealthy guy, probable does no longer omit $50M yet frequently in a divorce the money is going for the baby. a female gets alimony on condition that she had no earnings or activity of her very own and Heather does have a profession of her very own. yet probable their tax gadget might take 0.5 of that, and that i don't be attentive to if $25M might save that baby in the form she knows (probable had a extensive residing house, nanny, clothing, toys, training, transportation) and that i'm specific McCartney might wish his baby to maintain residing in luxury. i'm not sure if the courts might enable Heather to revisit the courtroom if her baby mandatory greater or no longer. i might think of definite. i be attentive to Heather asked for greater funds, and have been given much less. She needed greater protection for her and her daughter.

Nowadays that so many relationships are so dysfunctional, I'm sure it is quite "normal".
On the serious side, jealousy (in extreme) is not healthy. You should never feel consumed by it.

there is no "normal" amount. it's all wicked. it causes people to do wicked things too. i've been at the end of it myself. i thank God i don't have a tendency toward it myself. but i know what it's like when someone is jealous of me. the wicked things they try and to do or say about you. i also thank God, that i'm not weak either. i can handle it. but none-the-less, i still don't like having my time wasted. people with jealous natures, need to get a life or hang their sorry *** selves. leave the rest of us alone.

Although most of us don't admit to being jealous, I think it's an emotion that is tied very closely to fear. Fear of losing what is important to us.

jealousy, well it is an emotion and you feel it, but harboring it is not good, not good at all!

NO
INSECURE AND COMPETITIVE ARE PRIMITIVE DON'T YOU THINK?
LOWER SPECIES ARE "POSSESSIVE" AND JEALOUS.
AS MATES ARE BIOLOGICALLY PERCEIVED AS MEAL TICKETS AND NECESSARY TO SURVIVAL
EVOLVED AND TRULY LOVING PEOPLE ARE
EMOTIONALLY SECURE AND LOVING
LOVING GOD THEN ONE ANOTHER UNCONDITIONALLY WHETHER THE OTHERS ARE PERFECT OR LOVING IN RETURN PREVENTS JEALOUSY AND ANGER
LOVE IS A GIFT YOU GIVE YOURSELF
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ANSWERS YOUR QUESTIONS
ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF GOD AND YOUR PARTNER IS YOUR ANSWER
P. S. I'M NOT PERFECT. ANGER GETS ME BUT, NOT JEALOUSY
