Well I have to disagree here in part bc yes, you shouldn't be jealous of anyone's success if it comes as no hinderence to your own. If it does, however, I think using that emotion to motivate yourself to outperform or outsmart someone can yield positive results.

It's the cornerstone of invention and why I think women are racing to improve their backsides and thighs after Kim K and Beyoncé came to the forefront.

I think you are mistaking "Jealousy" for "Motivation". The 2 can intertwine but are not exclusive to one another. And the example you gave seems more like motivation and sheep behavior than jealousy powering motivation. I have been surpassed by people in many things as an ADULT or even been hindered. But jealous was never the emotion I felt. It's either a motivational or I don't give a ****. If I was stepped on then maybe there is some anger at being wronged more so than success over me. Everybody is different and the human condition is more complicated than any of us so I will agree to disagree. And hope this "positive jealousy" you speak of will make great inventions and strides in the world.
I think people have been brainwashed by that Jay Z line, I agree, it's a human emotion. I've never seen it being defended as not that until that line was uttered.
 
She think she thick. Broad look like a tatted albino whale.

Jay-Z gave jealousy a bad rap huh? :rollin

Think the negative connotations with jealousy been around way before Jay. :rolleyes

Like I said. I'll agree to disagree. Emotion or not it's some immature insecure **** that causes more turmoil than positive outcome and is bad for your mind as well as a waste of time. Not to mention it is a completely unnecessary path to motivation never heard someone try to big up jealousy for it's motivational properties in my life. And I'm an old fart so to each their own. ;)

This. I think jealousy is composed of equal parts fear and anger. Fear of losing something you give value (status, money, rank, mate, etc.) and anger bc of a perceived threat. It can't be a character "flaw" bc we all feel these emotions—maybe not at the same time—but we do.

It's how we process these emotions and use them to enfluence our actions which is important. Also, working to develop ourselves to suppress it as well.

We all heard Jay rap that line and people downplay it like females only do it LoL
