What if there was someone in my life who could easily help me and make my life a lot a lot less worrisome with virtually no effort on their part but they chose not to do so?

What if I went around thinking dark, mean thoughts about how selfish they are and how they want it all for themselves and how Karma will catch up with them someday and no one will help them and blah, blah, blah?

What if one day I realized that they were great teachers for me and had made me stronger by holding back their assistance because if they had helped me I would still be depending on them today and now I am grateful for their strength in not helping which gave me my strength?
