Chovos Halvavos compares mankind to a group of blind patients in a hospital, surrounded by everything necessary for their healing. But instead of following the doctor's instructions, they wander around, injure themselves, and then blame the hospital for their suffering. Rabbeinu Bachya teaches that we often make the same mistake in our relationship with Hashem.

We live in a world filled with Hashem's kindness, yet focus on our difficulties and complain about the very One who provides for us. And just as the patients need a physician to guide them, Hashem has given us the Torah and the teachings of Chazal to guide us through life and heal our souls.
