#2: jealous?

Today i thought about jealousy. I think it's a profound concept. Is it natural? Or is it a sin? I am going to argue that it lies in the intention behind the state of being jealous.
When we talk about jealousy, the most common cultural context is being jealous of others for some kind of posession: Jealousy of the rich, jealous of fame, for respect, for being popular, or fortune. "why does he have hair and i have to be bald?", "why is she so lazy and talented and i am so hard-working and unachieving?".
But God has made us to be who we are according to who He desires each of us to be. He has given us all that we ever need to begin with. Being jealous of others not only disrespect God's sincere and unique design for each of us, but also challenges His authority in our lives by coveting others.

On the other hand, there is this

You shall not make for yourself an idol...You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the LORD your God am a jealous God...

This is one of those passages where you must read and understand the message as a whole and not reduce into smaller parts. God becomes jealous when we love other things (which He created alongside creating us) more than we love Him Himself. It's like saying "Here i have created all these things for you, put you in a safe environemnt, guard you in the family i provided you, endowed you with education, yet why do you love these things more than you do for Me? Why do you love the world, their stars and idols, cars and parties, materialistic costly temporal things? Why do you not love Me?!"
It also made beome aware of how loosely we use the word 'love'. Too often too loosely.
I find it almost comforting that God cares for how much i love Him to such a degree that He will become jealous if i turn away. It also shows how gentle a Master He is. That though i'm able to turn from Him and provoke His anger, i dare not. For this reason, i'm more than happy to keep the #2 commandment.
