Perhaps what people are telling us is that they know that they should understand and appreciate mathematics, but they do not. So instead they are resentful.

Mathematics is the language with which God has written the universe. ~ Galileo Galilei

I don't love maths. I have to get through the basic stuff with a lot of work, kicking and screaming. Although I hate maths and find it mysetrious and secretive, my opinion is that maths is the the language to speak with other people in other fields and, it also appears to me that it is completely impossible to attain any in depth understanding of any topic without maths. Utterly impossible.
