Anger Management and your Emotions-Jealousy Part 1
Every generation establishes it’s own standard of beauty. Women throughout history have been made immortal through printed word, paintings, sculptures, photography and film. The Mona Lisa, Venus De Milo, May West, Elizabeth Taylor, Cindy Crawford, and my favorite Halle Berry, are worshipped for their features and form. Men clamor to be in their presence. These women have been envied by men and praised by their peers. Helen of Troy was one of such women. She is described as perhaps the most inspired character in all Greek literature. They called her Helen, “the face that launched a thousand ships.” Every red-blooded male in Greece who had heard of the gorgeous Helen, dreamed of possessing her. A whole war, one that lasted for ten years, was fought over her. Kings risked their kingdoms to have her. Those who could not have her became fueled with jealousy. All the while she gloried in it all.
According to Wikapedia The free encyclopedia, Marilyn Monroe, another famed beauty in history allegedly had affairs with: Joe Dimagio President John F. Kennedy, Henry Fonda, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Marlon Brando, Howard Keel, Jerry Lewis, Clark Gable, Howard Hughes, Yves Montand, Milton Berle and Elia Kazan. It has also been alleged she had a one-night stand with Joan Crawford.
Monroe was found dead by her live in house keeper, Mrs. Eunice Marray in the bedroom of her Brentwood, California home on August 5, 1962. Monroe was thirty-six years old. Her death was apparently caused by an overdose of barbiturates, although as with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, several theories have sprung up.
Crimes of passion flood our popular media today, from movies like Fatal Attraction to the real life court sagas of the O.J. Simpson trial.
In the past, it was the image of the restrictive and abusive husband that came to mind when speaking of jealousy and relationships, but the tables are turning. This green-eyed monster called jealousy has devoured many women as well. Shante’s Story, my next post is proof of that fact.
