Oooh. That perspective got me all excited. I would like to gently toss you down in the dirt.

That doesn't make me mad, (you ninny, to quote Gaugs) I agree with you! I just wanted to bitch about the lady.
BUt also, two other things occur to me--one is that there is a difference between heaven in the safe, physical sense you talk about in your last post- and with which I agree-and in the emotional, spiritual sense and that lady is NOT living in an emotional heaven. She is creating a hell that has nothing to do with her fine home or food in her pantry. I don't think that's just "bitching". Bitching is calling her best friend and complaining. This was nasty, meant to make others unhappy.

And the basic character flaws that allow people to be mean to others-- to hurt with words, to try to cause trouble, to refuse to sacrifice ego in small ways are the same flaws that are able to justify not helping others in a large sense. The same self-absorption and self-centeredness won't let them see others' needs as equally important as their own.
Shoot--- I am late. I don't want that lady to yell at me!
ANd I didn't say this well at all---didn't get finished--So I'll be back later.
