I recently heard and I am paraphrasing from the Lubavitcher Rebbe – if we see something that makes us compassionate, we have seen a mission in our life, if we see things that make us angry, we are the ones who need to be fixed! for anger is never about evil, rather it comes either from our ego being hurt / shamed directly, or indirectly, namely jealousy – “why should you be happy while I am sad?” and jealousy causes a person to seek to destroy the happiness of good people – which is why all of hitler’s and vile people’s rage is focused against the kindest loving people – for love creates happiness – and as this is the heart’s desire, the subconscious mind, which primarily rationalizes our desires, shows us the evil of those we seek to destroy, which is the rationalization and “motivation” to do so.
