When we are faced with resentment, what we instead must do is reinvent our image of those around us or those we have perceived as having wronged us. Other people are not here to love us perfectly; they are here to teach us lessons to show us how to love them-and ourselves-better.
At the core of the things we most fear is a message that we are trying to send ourselves about what we really care about.

You take things don't control and define them as "good" or "bad." And so of course when the "bad" things happen, or the "good" ones don't, you blame the gods and feel hatred for the people responsible-or those you decide to make responsible.
Much of our bad behavior stems from trying to apply those criteria. If we limited "good and "bad" to our own actions, we'd have no call to challenge God, or to treat other people as enemies.
