All sentient beings, all the people in the world, or most of them, have a problem in dealing with “myself.” Without others, we would have no chance at all to develop beyond ego. So we should feel grateful that others are presenting us with tremendous obstacles—even threats or challenges. The point it to appreciate that. Without them, we could not follow the path of dharma at all.
