Welcome to reality...

To truly love my neighbor as I love myself, I must put aside the human tendency to make myself the center of the universe. The person who successfully makes progress in this area faces a second danger of temptation. Other people will be made uncomfortable by his or her example. The person who seriously loves the neighbor must not expect social rewards or approval, but rather should not be surprised if other people try to persuade him or her not to strive so high. If this persuasion is resisted, the individual may be bitterly resented. This is particularly true if the one who loves the neighbor reaches across social barriers to love “the other” who is marginalized in a society. CSEvans
