Answer 1

My dad always told me love isn't jealousy, jealosy isn't love, as time has gone on I've came to find out its love, but conditional love that makes us jealous. Its a consequence of not actually truly being in love with THAT person, THAT individual, which all those points do a good thing to illistrate. Its also a sign of not being a friend to the person you love. Jealousy is a symptom of a lack of understanding, a very frustating and infruating experience, but its all because of fear, fear of rejection, fear of inferiority, fear of a mistake, fear is what it is. And anything you fear you can't truly feel, and anything you can't feel, you can't love. In the absents of love, in the absents of feeling, is hate...... so in a way he was right, love is not jealous, jealous is not love.
