Jealousy is the one emotion that could lead to greatness or destruction. We could take that feeling and use it work extra hard to achieve our own form of success or allow it to be the fire that cracks until violent deadly action results with consequences that hurt those we are jealous of and ourselves. Cain had the chance for redemption when G-D told him to try harder with his offering instead of being jealous of what Abel did. Cain choice the dark side which resulted in death to his brother and a penalty that was worse then death for himself. Our jealous impulses G-D willing won’t be this dramatic but how we react to even the small ones can determine which path we start walking in and if we get to swim in the big fish bowl after all.
