i think jealousy comes in two forms..

covetousness, and fear.

the first one, is when you don't stand to lose anything, but you just desire to possess something. - example: being jealous that neighbour have nicer car etc.

the second one, is when you stand to lose something. - example: jealous that gf gets along well with another guy.

Jealousy is fear that you can't have something that others have.

On the few occassions I get jealous, I try to use it to my advantage...like it makes me want to work harder to achieve that thing that the other person has. And feel happy for the person too - may the best man/woman win :)
