Envious people—the more polite, the more poisonous—see our good qualities as failings, consider themselves perfect but slander and libel trying to build themselves up. Like lightning striking the highest tree, the more perfect we seem, the more of a target we become for criticism, blame, and backbiting. Sometimes, for these reasons, a little carelessness, neglecting a detail, or permitting an imperfection proves the best strategy.
