The author defines hate towards the effort as the difficulty of committing to an important activity, either physical or psychic. She considers this difficulty as a perverse defense directly linked to the envy emergence. It brings about the denial of aspects of the external and internal reality. It is not the real object that is envied, but the idealized object, endowed with extraordinary resources and that, when it is re-introjected, keeps within the self an internal object with extremely omnipotent characteristics. Its main characteristic is that no effort is required to conquer what one desires: everything can and must be easy and peaceful. Any effort is hated and despised. This incapacity of committing to anything inexorably brings about lack of self-confidence and enthusiasm, decision, and determination. These people are plaintive and unsatisfied, feeling injured before any difficulty.
