We think that the qualities of anger, envy, jealousy, pride, etc. are
God-given, but it is not true. God does not make any
distinction between people by granting positive attributes to some
and negative qualities to others. All these differences are
human-made and God has nothing to do with them. When our wish
is fulfilled, we praise God. On the other hand, if something
goes wrong, we attribute our failure to God and blame Him. God
is only a witness to everything that goes on in this world, good or
bad. He neither gives nor receives anything. All our
sorrows and difficulties are of our own making.
