Other’s misfortune = Other’s Pleasure?

In peoples’ hearts jealousy often arises when they feel inferior of others or when they can’t have what they wanted and someone else got it. And once this jealousy arises, it results to a revengeful feeling to make that person worse than what she is right now. This is because they feel that if that person will get hurt or feel bad, then they can be superior to her once more. It makes them feel good and accomplished if she would have misfortune in her life, payment for interfering to their success and fame. They also tend to hate that person for she has whatever they think they deserve much better.

So most of the time, the reason for this pleasure is mainly because of jealousy. It can be just like how Psyche’s sister had felt towards her. Just because their riches can’t compare to hers, they really got jealous and this resulted to a plan that can destroy her. They planned to hurt her by filling her mind with a doubtful feeling towards her husband and make her scared of him, to the point where she would want to kill him and save herself from being devoured by such a creature.

Regardless of their relationship, when a person feels jealous and can’t suppress it, it can result to a destruction of one’s life. After listening to her sisters, she lit the lamp and saw her husband. But instead of wanting to kill him, she fell in love with him at first sight. When Cupid found about what her wife had done, he flew to his mother and left her. This is the result of her sisters’ jealousy. It actually destroyed their relationship. It only proves that it can ruin a person’s life. But to her sisters it felt great, knowing that they are once again greater than her and more superior in terms of riches for example.
