This episode identifies three subtle but pervasive problems people create for themselves. First and most destructive is self-pity, which makes the self the center of all interpretation, inflates expectations of God and others, and inevitably leads to constant feelings of hurt. Second is the habit of giving unasked-for advice, a self-righteous tendency to tell others how to live while refusing correction ourselves, which naturally offends people and accomplishes little good. Third is the mishandling of money not money itself, but the attitudes of irresponsibility, pride, or manipulation that often accompany it. These three failings lie at the root of many personal troubles, yet people prefer to blame external factors rather than acknowledge how their own sinful patterns contribute to their difficulties.
