\"Jealousy<\/a><\/p>\n

There is but one emotion that claws at the heart with the twin talons of anger and shame, savaging self-regard with haunting ferocity that feeds on itself. \u201cJealousy,\u201d wrote the Swiss philosopher Henri-Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Amiel in his insightful treatise on love<\/a>, \u201cis precisely love\u2019s contrary\u2026 the most passionate form of egotism, the glorification of a despotic, exacting, and vain ego, which can neither forget nor subordinate itself.\u201d And yet jealousy is also one of the commonest human experiences \u2014 one that visits upon even the noblest heart, warping reality and reason beyond recognition. <\/p>\n
