In my opinion, there are two forms of jealousy, substantiated and unsubtantiated jealousy. Substantiated jealousy comes from facts of knowing something which makes you feel jealous. Unsubstantiated is more like blind jealousy which makes you think you know something but don't have the facts to back it up. Both forms of jealousy can empower you but the outcome of the empowerment depends on the type of jealousy you experience. For example, if you experience unsubstantiated jealousy, i. e., not knowing the facts and jumping to conclusions, you can easily go into a jealous rage and lose your power as a sensible, rational human being. On the other hand, substantiated jealousy can have you empowered to the point of taking action to change circumstances in your life, including leaving the one who has caused the situation which made you jealous. I have learned, from life's hard knocks, that it's best to think before you speak and make sure you have all of your facts straight before making any hasty conclusions.
