Removing jealousy is an easy problem: just avoid getting too close to people. Like sadness, jealousy itself is not a problem: it's an indicator a certain kind of problem exists. Jealousy is not irrational, just as sadness isn't. It's merely information. https://twitter.com/PSTaylor13/status/1096401617337835520 …

It's weird how many folks who wouldn't let any other emotion rule their lives will submit to their own jealousy like it's their lord and master.

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.
