Another piece of the first issue.
Jealousy is a terrible thing, you never know where it might lead.
We all hope that people were entirely good. That we’d help when given the opportunity and do the right thing. However, not everyone will. They have all kinds of reasons for doing the things they do. Some aren’t entirely honourable.
But where does this idea come from? How does someone go from wanting to do the right thing to being willing to do the wrong thing. Usually, it’s because they see something or someone they want go to someone else. A friend who gets a job when you don’t or attracts the attention of that person you like.
These feelings get worse over time the more it happens. People don’t always realize it’s happening until it’s too late.
Which is part of what’s going on in this page emotionally. The Bucket is noticing someone near to them might be in trouble because she doesn’t see what’s coming.
