In a depressed and deprived society there exist a lot of unhappiness. It will so happen that someday your neighbor, friend, brother, spouse or whoever will somehow arise into some good fortune. This will in turn make him very happy. He will want to shout it from the roof tops [not the best idea as we know] .
And so the rest of us contemplate: Why should he be happy if the rest of us are not! Why does he deserve to be happy and not me? I work hard and suffer... Where is my reward?!... This causing a re-evaluating of thyself- merited or not- it seems to happen. Hence for every pile of good dirt we accumulate... there is somewhere... a hole in the earth. And if we archive a painting of pure white that makes a painting of dark all the darker.
In that way the happiness of one shall manifest as sadness and depravation in others. Hence we see the value of modesty as opposed to shouting from the roof tops. And so it is that the many care not about the merit of your achievements or your good fortune...How could they have any proper vision of that? They are not you and will never be you. They lack your frame of reference.
Yes, you have inadvertently caused them to look inward and now they see themselves as lacking.
Now more hurt and deeper in sadness they now search for an escape. So now they look to bring you down... and if in bringing you down raises them up a bit...all the better! Hence they go and report you to the group...[the government, the company, the administration, the CEO, the king, and so on] In short anyone with the power to bring you down...The leveling force. They care not about your merit. It is foremost the reduction of their own pain and inadequacy which your success has tormented.
