Where does invidious jealousy come from? < ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Insecurity? 

Faintly reminiscent but vivid……prior pessimistic moments resonating in my soul? 

Glimpses of the cryptic and dark recesses of my mind?

A clandestine acknowledgment [no matter how unintentional and unwelcome, and nevertheless irrepressible] of how attraction works……a sentiment that cannot be subdued, even by the most strong disciplined soul?????  The power we do possess rest in how well we restrict [and forbid] the response, the reaction to that sentiment. 

Perhaps the way to revoke the sudden rush of emotions triggered by jealousy/envy is to bestow upon that person, where that emotional phenomenon stems from, an unconditional trust, even if the same adamant loyalty may have been betrayed in the past. 

With true love must always follow absolute trust.
