Suppose you have next-door neighbors you don't like - and because you don't like them you blow your leaves into their yard, throw your dog's poop over the fence into their garden, park in front of their driveway, yell at their kids, knock over their mailbox, and steal their newspaper off their steps. Then, when they throw a big Christmas party and invite all the other neighbors but not you, you get all huffy and outraged and can't understand why you were left out.

Is that simple enough for you to understand?
