Jealousy

It’s so easy to induce jealousy and so hard to get rid of it.

I heard recently of a fellow who caused trouble between a couple.

He, the interloper, liked her, and wrote her some suggestive emails.

She, being a person of the highest integrity, shared these with her bloke.

In this, the snake caused her anguish because she was trapped between the need for integrity in their relationship, and the trouble it would bring to them to share this information. She knew because she was a shaman.

Her bloke promptly got very jealous, misdiagnosed this, and thus doubled the trouble between this lovely couple by behaving erratically.

In the worst case scenario they could have even split up. Fortunately in this case they did not; they were solid.

Had they split, the snake would have been be one step closer to his goal. Her. This was just a simple whim on his part.

The snake was a simple fellow and it could be argued he knew not what he did.

But in matters of raw emotions like this even the simpletons know what they are doing, at some level.
