Practical help
Some people escape to pornography because they feel slighted by
others. It is a way of dealing with deep anger or resentment.
Love is a stronger entity than jealous feelings. This is not to say
that it is wrong to feel hurt when someone treats us poorly. But jealously is not the pain
we feel, but the acting out in an angry way over the pain we feel. This is why jealousy is
not an expression of love. Jealous feelings do not really prove that we sincerely care for
the others over and above ourselves.
