A short while ago, a fortune-teller predicted that one of my sisters will compete with me in intelligence, looks, status, wealth, and matrimony. It bothered me a little but I pushed it to the side for a while.In the past 4 months, 2 major fights have erupted at home, where I insisted that sis doesn't accompany me to parties. I didn't want her to look better than me. I didn't want her to be liked more than me. I started being mean to her and picking fights the whole time. I was jealous. I still am sick with jealousy but aware of my emotions. Okay, something needs to be done to re-balance my emotions.
Who's to blame in this situation? I admit that I have some negative character qualities and being extremely jealous is one of them. But my mother could have helped. I believe parents' comments encourage jealousy/rivalry between siblings. All kids should be loved equally and parents should never favor one child over the other. Parents should be aware that subconsciously they may damage their children without even realizing it.
It seems very easy to scrutinize the way our parents brought us up and blame them for the damage. But once we realize the faults, we should try to work on improving them. I will try my best.
Till we meet again,
Sedeso
