"Oh, ¡cuidado, mi señor, con los celos! Es el monstruo de ojos verdes que se burla de la carne de la que se alimenta."
— William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:
Jealousy is a powerful emotion that can make people act irrationally and hurt those they care about. Imagine someone who feels jealous whenever their friend gets attention or praise. Instead of being happy for their friend, they start feeling bitter and insecure. This bitterness can ruin their friendship, making them say or do mean things without real reason. Just like a monster that enjoys making fun of its victim, jealousy eats away at a person from the inside, causing harm to both the jealous person and those around them. To avoid this, it’s important to celebrate other people’s successes and focus on one's own strengths and happiness.
