I will just start with narrating some of the recent items that were in
news recently.
Sachin Tendulkar was recently conferred with Order for Australia. Order
of Australia is an honorary decoration to recognize Australian citizens
and other persons for achievement or for meritorious service. While this news
was greatly received by large section of people but there were a few who couldn’t
take this news well. Consider these comments for instance-
Mathew Hayden, former Australian cricketer recently remarked-
"I think it should be exclusive to Australians. There's things that
are sacred amongst our country. I kind of understand the point of the fact that
he has been such an iconic figure here in Australia and there's an enormous
population of Indian's that are working here and living here very happily and
in harmony with Australia that have naturalised and I think that's a great part
of our country, how multi-cultural that we are.
Now, if Sachin was living in Australia - give him the Prime Minister's gong I reckon - but the reality of it is he's living in India."

In an another news, Vijay Mallya, whose Kingfisher Airlines is actually
going through troubled times recently found himself out of the Forbes billionaire’s
list. Not to take this as a setback, Mallya is known to have tweeted-
"Thanks to the Almighty that Forbes has removed me from the
so called Billionaires list. Less jealousy, less frenzy and wrongful
attacks"
Both of instances have something in common. Tendulkar getting an
unexpected recognition from the Govt. of Australia had some prominent citizens (read:
Hayden) fuming especially the ones who have themselves not gotten the
recognition despite being from the same field as Tendulkar's. Can reaction from
Hayden be termed as one motivated by Jealousy ?
On the other hand, there Vijay Mallya, who had everyone in awe with his
business sense and lifestyle only till recently when the current crisis of
Kingfisher airlines just made him lose a lot of respect. In the above quote, he
states that he feels thankful to be out of Billionaire's club as he would
have to deal with less Jealously, of other things.
Jealousy can be seen as one of common human traits. Remember as a kid,
when one sees mother carrying and cuddling any other child, the kid gets
restless as if someone has taken his or her's valuable possession.
Wikipedia defines Jealousy as-
Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and
feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something
that the person values, particularly in reference to a human connection.
Jealousy often consists of a combination of presenting emotions such as anger,
resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust.
To dissect this further, i would say Jealousy-
- an negative emotion
- it is synonyms with the feeling of insecurity
- is quite akin to feeling of losing something so dear to you.
- can result in feeling of anger/resentment
- May cause a feeling of helplessness
- is an emotion expressed in anticipation
There is a subtle difference between envy and Jealousy. Envy is always a
bit forward sounding word, in the sense that, envy results when you so badly
want something that you have seen others have but Jealousy is more of a fear of
losing something.
With this, one can debate whether Mathew Hayden's reaction to Sachin's
recognition was more of envy than jealousy but
this is something only Hayden can tell.
Coming to Handwriting analysis, there is a certain way to ascertain the
presence of Jealousy in an individual's handwriting. It can be determined by
looking at the presence of a tight beginning loop at the start of the word, a
loop that is small and a closed circle.
You know what to look for in Mathew Hayden's handwriting in case you get
an access to the sample.
