When our young men grow angry at some real or imaginary wrong, it denotes 
their hearts are black.

- Chief Seattle

Why do people react often with anger, or shame-based rage over someone who offers them a better way?

The classic example of don't kill the messenger, is Jesus, 
of course.

The reason is, people like to dwell in denial, to go on their suicidal ways, 
to keep their addictions, until they reach their own, individual enlightenment.

Too often, it;s far too late for their bodies to recover.

Too often, they only seek help when they've reached rock bottom.
