How should we deal with jealousy and insecurity?

Question

How should we deal with jealousy and insecurity?
I am a decent man who does not want to engage in these behaviors, yet they always seem to follow my family and me. I do not seek to hurt anyone, yet my adversaries always choose this path.
When I was young, I would explode with anger, but now I am no longer an aggressor. Can you help me?

Practice martial arts to calm your aggression, and take care of your liver to soothe your jealousy.
