Envy
There is a certain contingent of insecure persons who become extremely jealous and envious when in the presence of someone extremely excellent in all respects- in goodness, in kindness, in intelligence and in strength. It is this envy and jealousy that causes the talking head politicos to trash talk politicians into the ground sometimes. It is this envy and jealousy combined with a certain racism that has some white people compelled to trash talk anyone into the ground who is a successful black politician. I read in my rsv (revised standard version) bible last night that it was "ENVY" that caused the crowd to demand that Jesus be crucified. ENVY. People who are pathetically insecure try to kill off what they know they don't have in someone else. It is ENVY that causes people to want to destroy other people when they feel insecure around them. ENVY.
You know some of these people-they sometimes themselves have high position and masquarade as experts in this or that. Sometimes they hold positions of high esteem and resent anyone not giving them what they consider their high due regard. ENVY- people who try to make you feel like garbage because they will never be what you are or have what you have-so they try to level you into nothing to gloat over it. ENVY. Sometimes they just scheme to try to take what you have. But they can never get what you really have which is what caused you to get whatever they think they can take.
There is an accounting in Heaven- while these people get some traction here on earth- it doesn't last. Because God sees the heart- and man with the outward appearance.
God knows motives- and he knows when they parade as piety falsely.
