Blame and envy: Just as your own behavior can be understood as the natural unfolding of physical and psychological processes, so can the behavior of others, and your attitudes toward them might change in the light of this understanding. Seeing exactly how someone got to be the way they are, and knowing that their virtues and faults arise out of circumstances, not from an autonomous, non-physical agent, can help to reduce the time spent on unproductive blaming and envy.

This way of understanding helps one to be less crtitical of one's self and of others.
A refreshing change from the JW mind-set.

I agree. Our perspective on issues creates how we feel about them. If our perspective is negative our feelings will be as well. Having a good understanding of things and people can create a positive or neutral perspective and thus will leave us with positive or neutral feelings.
It's all in now we look at things...
