If we look in a good dictionary at the definition of ‘civilize’ we find that very few who claim to be civilized are, in fact, civilized! In fact, after critical scrutiny, we find that it is the so-called uncivilized who are the truly civilized ones - the so-called civilized ones being simply technologically advanced.

 Note:

From The 21st. Century Chambers Dictionary.

civilize or civilise. verb. (civilized, civilizing) 1. to lead out of a state of barbarity to a more advanced stage of social development. 2. to educate and enlighten morally, intellectually and spiritually.

Q: What is jealousy, what is its purpose and what are its antidotes?

A: Jealousy is an emotion, a creation of the mind, stemming from the “I”.
It has no purpose but it is a challenge. Like the mind it does not exist in Reality.
The solution is to achieve the elimination of the “I” by non-attachment to the “I” - something achievable by all, and something all will achieve!
Understand this and half the battle is over!
