What can such a function mean within a world of envy, hatred and attack?
Forgiveness represents your function here. It is not God's creation, for it is the means by which untruth can be undone. On earth, you need the means to let illusions go. Creation merely waits for your return to be acknowledged, not to be complete.
Only forgiveness can relieve the mind of thinking that the body is its home.
With anger gone, you will perceive that for Christ's vision and the gift of sight, no sacrifice was asked, and only pain was lifted from a sick and tortured mind.
Hold no one prisoner. Release instead of bind, for thus are you made free. The way is simple. Every time you feel a stab of anger, realize you hold a sword above your head. And it will fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free. Each person who seems to tempt you to be angry represents your chance to forgive. You owe him thanks instead of pain.
Be merciful today. The Son of God deserves your mercy. Your function here on earth is only to forgive him. Forgive him now, and you will see that you are one with him.

How could we choose not to forgive after reading the following:
"All this beauty will rise to bless your sight and you look upon the world with forgiving eyes. For forgiveness literally transforms vision, lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos, removing all illusions that had twisted your perception and fixed it in the past. The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder, and a blade of grass a sign of God's perfection. "
