It’s easy to get angry or upset about people who keep us from getting ahead. We should be thankful for such people. Catholic Fundamentalists think of them as “levelers”.

As their name implies, they try to keep anyone else from getting ahead, usually by mandating vicious levels of taxation and regulation. Such personalities often gravitate to occupations where they are able to control the activities of others. Saying “No.” gives them great joy.

Welcome such people into your life. Love them like a brother. That helps cure our own excessive vanity and may help them see that there is another Kingdom.

Our job is to get into Heaven, not to have our own way. Loving spiteful, mean-spirited people is a sure way to build up Heaven Credits.
