Jealousy



God could remove his love intensity towards you but you are asking him to halt an amount of love akin to depth itself, and a vast teardrop of that would have already changed you and your whole world before you even start the thought of it.
For example, jealousy is beaten into you, from the time when you take a toy from another child as a baby and are made to give it back. This is sharing. Jealousy works in three ways, the way you want it to work for you, the way you need it to work because of you, and the way you choose it to work for others.
Jealousy is simply knowing what you have, what you need and what you want for yourself and those around you.
You either appreciate what you have or you don't think you appreciate it in any given moment.
You need to be jealous because you have learnt what you have got in your hands, mouth, on you stomach or even in your toes first when you learn language, then it is taken away and changed completely to that which you have not got.
When you are beaten as well as dealing with complete changes to what you have got, your jealousy of want merely becomes more expressive sometimes even aggressive.
This however may be merely a human body reaction and your soul has to contain these intense expressions of God on a constant basis.
The more you have in your environment, the more you work and create for things, the more people you befriend even love, the harder you are to contain.
Yet your souls are contained because you are a God being. Not being God but it is as if you are almost because you come from the same source.
So can your soul love only you or must your soul love you and others or only God himself?
Does your body or soul love others first or both equally at the same time before it recognises itself?
Does your soul leave your body for example by choosing not to return to a painful body or does your body leave your soul for example by not going to the doctors in time?
