In response to Courtney's question

Question...that jealous anger that we sometimes feel toward the wealthy is a vile thing. What does that example say about humans? Can/does jealousy control us?

I think that jealous can potentially control someone. Jealousy can be a very powerful thing. Whether or not we use jealous to our advantage in a positive aspect, or let the negative thoughts dwell in our minds- the decisions we make can be greatly influenced by our jealousy of others. If we take jealousy as it comes as a way to better ourselves and aspire to be something great, jealousy can help us live to our full potentials. But if we hold on to jealous thoughts and grudges, the greed from jealousy can take over someone's thoughts and decisions.

Question: Would a communist society help minimize jealous feelings because of their equal working statuses?
