On Love and Jealousy

There's this common adage that believes love is blind and people are trying to link it with their experiences of falling to someone they should not. In reality, love is NOT blind because love is so perfect and holy that it fulfills the joy, satisfaction, and purpose of living and existing. It is not about responding to our emotions but more of a response from the will.
What then makes it blind? It is when we let jealousy eat-up the real definition of love. It is when envy drains the benefits that love has to offer-- that if allowed to grow, it breeds more hatred and anger.
Never compare yourself to others and never focus all your energy to the things that others have but your loved ones doesn't have.
Josh Billings once mused about this and I want to re-phrase it this way: " When you look through the telescope, you're viewing the universal definition of love but when you look through the microscope, you're viewing the tiny organisms of jealousy which slowly kills your life."
