I was just talking with someone interested in monogamish relationships and the looming specter of Jealousy (insert ghostly "oooOOOOoooOOooo" sound). As far as I can tell, jealousy is an entirely invented social construct. It's like God, in that we all have to pretend to believe in it, and act like we believe in it, when we don't really feel it at all. But we see everyone else acting as if it exists, which convinces us that it is real, and so we have to play along as well or risk being the one weirdo freak. And no one realizes that everyone is faking it.
