Those among us who have achieved the most have achieved only a fraction of what ALL of us are capable of. You haven't even begun to scratch the surface!
The point of Jesus' existence wasn't to lessen or diminish our appreciation of each other, but to expand our appreciation of each other by reminding us what lies within all of us, because Jesus was an example of the pinnacle of human evolution.
If you went to live in the Himalayas and everyone was lovely there, I'm sure it would be fairly easy to be a spiritual master.
We tend to lack humility toward love, to patronize it rather than bow before it, to put mundane considerations before the emotional need to hold someone in our arms.
Romance is one of the sacred temples that dot the landscape of life.
Become more accepting. With every interaction, surrender any tendency to judge another person. Pray for a more accepting heart.

So, once again, that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the Jewish religion, it just means that sometimes people are not fed the mystical food - the spiritual food - of their own religious background.
