by Rene Godefroy "Jealousy is a symptom of a severe case of low self-esteem, and it’s a disease that can eat us alive." -- Rene Godefroy Mitshuca is a dazzling teenager with a sparkling smile that any toothpaste company would envy. She has an earthy and effervescent personality. She is the essence of femininity. Simply put, she is a masterpiece! But there is one problem. Many of her schoolmates are jealous of her beauty. How sad! Is Mitshuca better than they are? No!!!! History is replete with people who were short, tall, ugly, and even disabled, who shattered the ceiling of doubts and limitations to change the world for the better. You see, it’s not what’s on you that is important, it’s what’s in you! Being attractive is not a rite of passage. It doesn't guarantee us anything in life. Jealousy is a symptom of a severe case of low self-esteem, and it’s a disease that can eat us alive. That's why jealous people are often angry. We all, at some point, suffer from low self-esteem. However, disliking another because of what he or she has is almost like living life at the level of the beast. Perhaps you wonder why I feel so strongly about this issue. I promise you, I am not a victim. I just feel sorry for those who are dealing with jealous people such as friends or family members. Mitshuca can’t change a thing about her beauty. She can only keep in mind that her good looks don’t mean that she is better than anybody else and strive to be humble instead of pompous or arrogant. That’s all she can do. Besides, the real beauty is that which is inside. There are unattractive people who radiate and glow in the presence of others because of their positive and upbeat attitude. On the other hand, there are some very attractive people whom we can't stand being around because of their attitude. My friend, jealous people are distractive by nature. You can't let them distract you. No person can take away what God has in store for you. Keep knocking on doors in spite of what others may say about you. As you strive to reach your maximum potential, you are bound to meet many jealous people. Please be compassionate to them. They are sick and they need help. Try instead to boost their self-esteem by stroking their egos. I wish you incredible success!
