There is an old story about two lumberjacks that perfectly explains a lesson most people learn far too late in life.
Two men were hired to cut down trees in a large forest. Both were strong. Both were motivated. Both wanted to prove they were the best worker the company had ever hired.

You will find peace when you realize people are at war with themselves, not you.
Read it again. Let it settle.
