Jealousy (emotion)

Jealousy is an emotion caused either by a person wanting what somebody else has or by a person perceiving the lack of attention given by a loved one when it is given to someone else. It is one of those emotions that the Smurfs have to deal with in their everyday living, particularly when it comes to being around Smurfette.

In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series, Empath was not accustomed to the experience of jealousy until he eventually became the center of attention for all the Smurfs except for Hefty, who believed that Empath was a showoff. However, during his time in Psychelia, Empath came to be jealous of the kind of life his fellow Smurfs were living in the Smurf Village and was upset to find out that Papa Smurf, who was his biological father, was responsible for bringing him to Psychelia when he was an infant and leaving him there.
