Excerpt from, Letters From The Earth, by Mark Twain:
...[A]mong human beings jealousy ranks distinctly as a weakness; a trade-mark of small minds; a property of all small minds...
Jealousy. Do not forget it, keep it in mind. It is the key. With it you will come to partly understand God as we go along: without it nobody can understand him. As I have said, he has openly held up this treasonous key himself, for all to see. He says, naively, outspokenly, and without suggestion of embarrassment: "I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
You see, it is only another way of saying, "I the Lord thy God am a small God; a small God, and fretful about small things."
