I submit that jealousy is a symptom of pride ... We often associate pride with just arrogance ... However pride is a FOCUS ON SELF ... and it displays itself in ways we don't often associate with pride/self-focus.
A person who hates their self ... suffering from an inferiority complex ... and is willing to take their life ... is as proud as the Pharisee who believes their spirituality and works outshine us all ... the FOCUS IS STILL THE SAME ... SELF.
Those who struggle w/ jealousy and coveting also have pride issues. The focus is on self when they wish they could have what is not theirs, want someone for their self, etc.
