Self/ego/individuality is like the hardware of our computer. Whatever thoughts/emotions we have are like the software.

Thanks NitOwl, Mattie,
I don't understand jealousy... I don't get jealous.. Is there something else like fear or self-judgment perhaps which creates this illusion?
I try, even self-judgment doesn't create jealousy. I think of a friend's success, I couldn't do the same (I wish I could), but I am not jealous.. I feel nothing
