Quote preview background for Jiddu Krishnamurti
You say you love your wife. You depend on her; she has given you her body, her emotions, her encouragement, a certain feeling of security and well-being. Then she turns away from you; she gets bored or goes off with someone else, and your whole emotional balance is destroyed, and this disturbance, which you don__ like, is called jealousy. There is pain in it, anxiety, hate and violence. So what you are really saying is, __s long as you belong to me I love you but the moment you don__ I begin to hate you.
