Endless Curiosity

Hahahahahahaha! Okay.

*sharpens judge's pencil*

And apparently I left off the photo option.

Should we have a question tomorrow, or just let Sex in Public Saturday follow it's own course?

Well, maybe follow it's own course. Though I still think you should make an initial post that states guidelines. You know, for us those of us that need specific instructions.

Like me.

I ... cannot respond to that without getting into trouble.

I think it can be simplified into one word: competition.

From the time we're small, we're taught to compete against others. For a parents' affection against another sibling, a parent's job, for a parent's time and attention.

As we age, we compete against others in school, in sports, for approval and praise in everyday life. We then compete for the cutest boy/girl in school, are taught through media (TV, magazines, social networking) to be noticed, admired, gratified with compliments. We all want to be the one that wins those silly titles in high school, "Best Couple" or "Most likely to succeed" or whatever those things are.

When we don't get these things and see others do, it fosters jealousy, or feelings of envy. The old question, "Why didn't that happen to me/why didn't I get the same thing they did," is at the base of everything. We all want to be the popular kid and it translates to being an adult. We compete against others for jobs, promotions, the hot girl/guy, the best house, the nicest car, that designer purse.

Our society fosters this, drives it and it's the rare individual that can break away from it completely. Some trains of thought believe that jealousy fosters excellence; maybe it does. But it also fosters hate, grief, insecurity, rage, pain and depression.

I think it takes some age, experience and a deep knowledge of one's self to break the pattern; I find that this often doesn't happen until we get older. But everyone has scars from jealousy. Maybe we need the scars before we can have a better understanding of it? I don't know.

I am very interested in the way you presented this, as though you believe this to be everyone's experience. This is not my experience or perception at all, as a matter of fact most of this is very foreign to me. I do appreciate hearing your point of view, and it sounds as though this may be quite common? I had a super idealistic childhood in many ways, and often find it hard to relate to people on a very basic level. Perhaps things like this are why - basic assumptions of what makes up life. Thanks for sharing

Try.

Stop that. I've been drinking, you're not playing fair.

I do not recall this being named the Fair Endless Curiosity thread.

You, ma'am, have an evil streak. I like that.

Yup.

My childhood experience was not unlike what AKentuckyLady presents. I was raised in a competitive environment, where value was represented by achievement.

I’ve also known many woman who viewed “getting” men as a form of competition. As though there weren’t enough to go around, or as though the women were continuously looking to trade up. Not pretty.

I don’t know that would put it as the only, or even most prominent, reason for jealousy, but I can certainly see it as a factor.

I think it is time for the Elders to be the Judges (I would be one of those),

and the rest (that would include you) to be the participants.

I'll take that pencil and score pad, if you please.

 

[1sickbastard]

Hey, who's side are you on???

I'd say she's on her side. Or perhaps her back.
Maybe her tummy.

Mmmm, so yummy.

Jenny!! Help!

Yes, please do, Jenny. We can have lots of fun together.
