"It is not love that is blind, but jealousy"

This quote by Lawrence Durrell speaks with the power of jealousy and how it can cloud our judgement. Jealousy can trigger us to become unreasonable and make choices that we would not usually make. It can trigger us to become suspicious and mistrustful of those we enjoy, even when there is no proof to support our suspicions. Love, on the other hand, is not blind. It is based upon trust and understanding, and it permits us to see the good in others. Jealousy, however, can trigger us to become blinded by our own insecurities and fears, leading us to make decisions that are not in our benefit.
