I sometimes feel that there's his impulse a *lot* of people seem to have to inwardly or openly resent other people for being more active, more helpful, more constructive, generally 'do-gooders'.

I don't get it. I mean, I'm fully aware I'm not as useful to my causes of interest as much as I maybe could be.

But that doesn't translate into resentment for me. It just makes makes me support the people who do something, in any way I can.
