Jealousy

The realisation sinks in and suddenly everything makes sense. All the other explanations I was cataloguing are irrelevant. It's the whole who's the coolest of them all that's doing this. It makes you smile, that sudden flash of insight. The word is so commonly used to define an uni dimensional emotion because it's probably the most common and definitely the most televised, but there are so many facets to it. Jealousy lives everywhere and sometimes makes the oddest appearance. Usually one hopes for a brief period before you find perspective again and you let go of it with a rueful smile. Who'd have thunk it.
