Ressentiment

 Jordan Peterson, on Page 176 of his book, BEYOND ORDER 12 MORE RULES FOR LIFE, defines ressentiment: "Ressentiment--hostile resentment--occurs when individual failure or insufficient status is blamed both on the system within which that failure or lowly state occurs and then, most particularly, on the people who have achieved success and high status within that system."

Stephen Hicks does a fine video on Nietzsche, who originated or developed this powerful idea. Dennis Prager notes that no happy or grateful person can be evil. Those nursing a ressentiment grudge against humanity and the system are a real menace to people and that system.

Both Eric Hoffer and the Bible writers predicted that the low and humble often overthrow and upend the high, the mighty and the exalted.

Jordan is wise here: he advises individuals to give up their resentment and to quit trying to change the world. If they will shed their ingratitude, their hatred of God, other people, and the world itself, then they can shed the ism they worship, their formal rationale for attacking that world and overthrowing it, remaking it in their own twisted image.

If each person cleans his own room, and self-realizes, ironically and indirectly, millions of maverizers will be the solution in their private lives, and in their public attempts.
