Who's responsible for jealousy. brain ? or something/someone else ?

[chinu]

If you/someone are jealous then you need to ask yourself, "why"?. It's the responsibility of the person experiencing the emotion to deal with it properly.

Of course, it’s the responsibility of the person experiencing such emotion.

But, this question arises after the birth of this emotion (Jealousy).

Whereas, my question leads towards finding the root cause.

Thoughts, feelings, awareness, memory, etc. are facilitated by the brain. Not your big toe. Not pixie dust. Not your granda's ghost. The brain.

Okay brain

There is evidence that such emotional response originates in the amygdala.

“Tom saw his friend’s new car.. and was Jealous”.

An above sentence says that.. Tom was Jealous after seeing his friend’s new car. Which means that tom’s Jealous was already SLEEPING there in amygdala and arose after seeing his friend’s new car.

Than how come you came to the conclusion that.. it ORIGINATED ?

NO. Jealous didn’t originated. It was already there, but sleeping.

Now was Tom's jealousy sleeping in the deep sleep state or in the dream state? If the latter, what does jealousy dream of?

Some people are Jealous-people, whereas others are NOT.

Is that the human brain responsible for this Jealousy ?
Or, there's someone/something else behind the human brain responsible for this Jealousy ?

It seems to be down to brain chemistry but i think it is tempered by life experience.

I have reason to have read up a little on the emotions of jealousy and excitement and have found several articles worth reading,here are a couple

Its NOT compulsory that every thing that sleep, must always dream.

For example: Desire.

Friend Christine,

Thank for the links. Hope I will definitely learn something new, thank you.

which is where the question "why?" Comes in.

And what about the brain, who facilitates the brain?

Whatever dispositions of the conscious mind cause jealousy, that is it's cause. Perhaps genetic, perhaps learned, perhaps when there are certain kinds of stress to trigger the dormant emotion of jealousy.

Do you care to tell me the difference between "Mind" & "Brain" ? please.

Do you care to tell me the difference between "Mind" & "Brain" ? please.

The categories I use are: (1) consciousness, and (2) its contents. I often use the word mind to refer to the second category, but I don't think that is a good word for it. The brain is the physical organ which generates consciousness and its contents.

the brain = the self

 

[Estro Felino]

A classical example of envy.
All men enchanted by this woman..whereas the women are devoured by envy.
They are aware she is the prettiest...the only way they have to feel better is to envy her.

the brain = the self

"Brain" and "Self" are two different words.
Then why to create two different words ?

 

[osgart]

Jealousy is feeling like something or someone belongs to you. You feel that you deserve, and don't want someone else to have what belongs to you. Is it because a person feels they lack or are insufficient without? Jealousy could be a lack of trust as well.

When something, someone truly belongs with you though then it's a very normal emotion when deprived of the deserve.
Otherwise it's envy and that's not right.
Envy is wanting something, someone that's not yours.

That's how I see it anyways.

I think jealousy is a warning sign. It could be totally unwarranted. It could be justified though. Envy there is no excuse for.

Of course people define things differently whereas jealousy means something much worse.

I say set it free and if it comes back to you willfully, and faithfully then you really got something.

Jealousy happens. It's not about the person.

Expectation is responsible.
