Green eyed monster = Jealousy
We all experience it. Even if we're holier than thou, as long as we're human, we'll be afflicted by it one time or another.
I am always jealous of people who seem to have it made. Now I know that they only have it made in one area (more than others) in their life, and that the same force that driven them to be successful in it, doesn't stop when they reach that goal - thus making for a pain in the ass.
But in our society and time, success is measured by material achievements. Money, property, fame.
It makes for a shallow focus, and when people see other people in that way, the "the neighbour's lawn is greener" effect is magnified incredibly.
This can cause an abundance of trouble, and usually does.
Wars were started and lives were lost because of jealousy.
It also provokes minds, and makes people reach further.
