Contrast Sensitivity

“In contrast with envy, which usually occurs between two people and is focused upon another person’s qualities or possessions, jealousy occurs when a third person becomes a threat to a dyad.

—Carol S. Becker (b. 1942)

“The sensitivity of men to small matters, and their indifference to great ones, indicates a strange inversion.”
