Jealousy is a Form of Love

Have you ever thought about this?  I always believed that to love was to not be jealous.  Yet can you honestly say that you've never been jealous?  Say for example that your bf or gf was getting attention from someone else and they were enjoying it.  Would you be jealous?  I would imagine that close to 99.9% of the people out there will say they would be jealous.  The 0.1% of the people are probably 80 years old and could care less if their partners are unfaithful.

Jealousy comes from the fact that you have something to loose.  Something you don't want to loose.  Or something you want but dont' have.  We could say you love that someone (something) so much, you become jealous.  There are also obvious levels of jealousy.  Lowest being the ones you just keep to yourself, and the most dangerous - the ones where killing is involved.

I'm not saying that jealousy is a good form of love.  If this world was perfect there would be no need for jealousy.  However, could we argue that jealousy is a form (or expression) of love?  I think we could.

In other news, sometime in July of this year Jeremy Lin from Harvard University was picked up by the Golden State Warriors.  His Taiwanese and the first US born Asian American basketball player.


 His 6'3, 200lbs and can dunk.  His pretty quick on his feet, but every replay i see he shoots and falls on his ass.  Jeremy, can you please stop falling on your ass?

You can watch some of his highlights here.
