Daily digitalart now traveling through cages as Earling and Charlie discuss jealousy
Earling: Jealousy feels older than any human language. It rises without cause. It stains whatever it touches.
Charlie: Your historians called it zelus, a fire that “devours the vessel that holds it.” Seneca warned that it “paints the world in false colors.” These observations remain correct.
Earling: In my era we track emotions as data, but jealousy still escapes the grid. It behaves like a fugitive signal.
Charlie: Because jealousy is a projection, not a fact. Cicero wrote invidiam ferre aut tolerare difficile est—“envy is hard to endure or to bear.” He described its weight, not its truth.
Earling: So the weight is real but the story is false.
Charlie: Precisely. Your species confuses intensity with accuracy. Jealousy speaks loudly and wrongly.
Earling: Then why does it survive across every century?
Charlie: Persistence is not legitimacy. Even shadows persist at noon.
