The big insight for Jordan Peterson was the value of obedience, and the moral need for the sacrifice of autonomy. The reason for Jordan Peterson’s bitternis is that he has not fully made the sacrifice. It is still a sacrifice to him.
He has an expression of grief, a resentment of a thing he wants to have, but that he denies himself because it would not ethical for him to take it. But he proudly owns that grief, because he thinks of it as the mark of the sacrifice, not the pain of the stump.

If he did not have that bitterness, that unsacrificed stump, he might come across more like a priest or a very serious spiritual teacher. I think priests receive special training in making their sacrifice to God.
