Envy vs. Jealousy

一个是你有我也要! 一个是有你无我,不共戴天。

Jealousy consists of conflict of interest. Consequently, it implies that in any situation where opponents compete for the same spot that cannot be shared (e.g. election of an official, selection of spouse), any party which is displaced of the ownership of the spot is by defination open to the feeling of jealousy. This fits the Biblical notion that God is a jealouse God.
