It's a hard emotion to control. Plenty of people who have an iron grip on their other emotions struggle with it. I have a suspicion that part of it is lack of practice - I get to practice restraining furious anger on a daily basis, leading to more mastery.

Jelous rage can be nearly impossible to control, even by the most rational intellectual. It's a limbic response that most people have been fortunate enough not to experience, and therefore don't understand.

That thought has crossed my mind too. When I see people talking about "controlling" jealousy I wonder if they've ever experienced the sort of deep lizard-brain jealousy that colors every thought and cannot be controlled by the cerebral cortex.
