"Oh, prenez garde, mon seigneur, à la jalousie ! C'est le monstre aux yeux verts qui se moque de la chair dont il se nourrit."
— William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:
Jealousy can cause a lot of problems and make people act in harmful ways. It's like a creature that teases and torments the person feeling it. For example, if someone is jealous of their friend's new car, instead of being happy for their friend, they might start thinking bad things or trying to make themselves feel better by putting their friend down. This can ruin their friendship and doesn't help anyone. Jealousy doesn't solve any problems; it just makes things worse. Avoiding jealousy can lead to better relationships and a happier life. Instead of being jealous, people should focus on their own goals and be happy for others' successes.
