Jealousy and envy are very powerful base emotions and one of the the root causes of fighting amongst ourselves.
Many see someone/an ethnicity etc experiencing a privilege unfairly, have more than they do, better off than they are in some form or fashion and well the rest is history.
Very few take the high road and realize what does not kill can only make you stronger, and endeavour to work towards what they want instead of expecting unmerited handouts/rewards etc like other groups.
Some traits are unchangeable or much harder to change like skin color, what's considered outer beauty by society etc, and so it frustrates those not content with or thankful for what they already have ,or who can never measure up.
True, and seeing this limits them to reach their potential because they are stuck in the past and consumed and limited through these emotions you highlight. Many of these people are stuck through the confines of their past and can’t see past that. However hope, love and faith are much stronger than jealousy, envy fear, and greed.
The one thing that we have different than our ancestors who needed to tribe for survival is access to unlimited information through the internet.
Many people don’t need to tribe anymore to survive and make a living. In multicultural societies like the GTA it takes hard work, persistence, willingness to learn systems and understand and stick to laws to function without these personal growth constraints. Yes there is many unfair situations however there is always a way to get past and around these limitations and brute force is not the best solution. People have a choice now to break free from these limiting tribes, groups, religions and cultural confines. They are free to be who they want without limitations and having others and their past limit their being and potential. However many times fear, jealousy, greed envy, their past etc. hold them back. Yes I know something about this through personal experience and having been subjected to “ethical cleansing” techniques during war and seeing what happens to villages and the people especially the fallout after.
One way to get past these limitations is to live based on universal principles founded on love for humanity and the universal consciousness. This movement is on the raise and will eventually dominate once people wake up and get sick of the control and limitations imposed on them from their birth. We are very lucky because we have access to a lot of knowledge not previously available to the general population through the internet. We don’t need to listen to fiction anymore passed down to us from our brainwashed ancestors based on our vulnerability of faith in loved ones. We don’t need to listen to corrupted false self proclaimed prophets anymore and can discover our own truth, spirituality and purpose. The undermining is already happening.
