Guest guest Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Would you invite someone whom you know to be easily jealous to your house? Would you invite him if he/she thought you had something which he can be jealous of? I would think would be better not to invite him/her - not, because of fear of jealousy but, in order to save your friend from his own jealousy! And, to me, saving your friend from his jealousy is an act of kindness. Irrespective of whether or not his jealousy harm somebody else - it is surely going to burn himself first! Same goes for inviting a greedy person [or a thief] into a treasure. There are reasons not to do it - and, one of them can be kindness. Because, irrespective of what these emotions do afterwards, they burn and punish their 'holder' first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
