Whenever you live based on your old nature you will be open to all the injustices of man. Your temper will get you into fights, your passions will clash with your neighbor, your desires will be like Tender buds exposed to the arrows of the enemy. Everything will be in your against ... attacking you from all directions. If you live by the mercy of a crowd of greed and covetous desires, then you will never find peace. You will never be satisfied because everything will worry you. You will be like an invalid bedridden for years ...

Wherever they touch you, you will feel pain. Your self-love is terribly susceptible. No matter how little they insult him, he screams killer!
Add to this all the insensitivity of others, their disgust at your weakness (and your disgust at theirs), and what you have are the children of Adam eternally tormenting each other.
The only hope is that you get out of yourself. Lose all your self interest. Only then can you enjoy the true peace reserved
for men of good will. People like that have no other will than God's. If you go to a place like that, what can harm you? You will no longer be attacked by your hopes or fears. You can be worried, upset, or distressed, but you can rest in Him. Love the hand that disciplines you. Find peace in all things ... including the cross. Be happy with what you have. Do not want more.
Surrender to God and find true peace.
