It is easy to slide into pessimism, overly critical, and angry. It is easy to justify the hurt caused by others.

WHY? well, because we live in a broken world.

With that said, Jesus (which is the leaders of ALL leaders) experienced this too. He was disappointed in others, misunderstood by many, hurt by those closest to him, and was even betrayed.
