Hated for no reason?

It was said of me that I was hated without a cause. I did not come to harm, but my presence provoked others to put me to death. This response defies conventional logic, but have you ever felt threatened by someone who would not harm you? Have you ever felt jealous or insecure around those of superior skill and talent or other attributes even if they were of innocent intent toward you? This response is more telling about you than it is of them. It manifests a latent jealousy you may have been unaware of. Think of it as conviction to repentance that you may decrease that I may increase.
