If a fellow develops jealousy and intolerance about
Anyone else around having lot of money, wealth and affluence
Anyone else having attractive appearance, bearing and manners and being charismatic
Anyone else around showing a lot of valour and initiative
Anyone nearby being held in respect for his noble birth and lineage
Anyone else living in reasonable physical comfort
Anyone around being lucky and having things happening in the way that persons wants
Anyone around having lots of friends and followers and also the way anyone entertains such friends and guests
Then the fellow who entertains such black jealousy is the victim of a mortal disease which would never be cured.
Yes, jealousy is a disease which can make one suffer eternally, and finally kill him even. It is the most illogical, but at the same time ubiquitous state of mind.
A reminder from the epic Mahaabhaaratham

Is eternal, without cure
