    That is exactly what I think when I spend time around some of the more conservative relatives. Envy, fear, anger, and ultimately hatred. So much jealousy. Over the years it’s shown me how so much of the suffering in the developed world is self imposed, and helped me change.

      It really is both saddening and enlightening. I still struggle with some of these problems, but the awareness has done wonders for my life. Actual effective threat assessment is like a superpower.
