Good morning Bitachon of the day ❤️
Human beings are naturally isolated and separate from one another. We are individual beings, all living in our own subjective world, our own inner universe. We will never be able to experience life through anyone else’s perspective, only through our own inner consciousness. We have our own thoughts and feelings, things no one else can see. We face our own hardships and tribulations, ones that no one else truly understands.
Yesterday was both an incredible and a sad day. Our soldiers were able to rescue four hostages, but we also lost an incredible soldier. Watching the hostages reunited with their families, it’s hard to grasp their feelings. Thankfully, we may never fully understand what they went through or what the families of the remaining hostages are enduring. Comments on each video often include judgments about the hostages' behavior, reactions, and appearances. People are quick to judge. With the pervasive presence of media and public scrutiny, everyone is too fast to comment on other people’s lives, as if it’s a game and their opinions are all that matter.
When you speak negatively about someone, you create a wall between the subject of your negativity and the person you are speaking with. The very tool of connection is corrupted to achieve its opposite goal. The speech we express, both in the words we say and in the way we live our lives, has the power to reflect truth. The choice is ours, and the consequences are cosmic.
Our goal is not to be perfect but to become more perfect every day, to strive for more, and to endlessly thirst for more Torah wisdom and spiritual growth. We should also refrain from quickly judging others and avoid giving negative opinions about people we don’t even know. This is challenging, given the nature of society today, but we must pause and reflect before acting this way, especially if we’ve never been in that specific situation.
May we all learn not to judge anyone and be able to connect with others. Amen.🙏
Wishing you all a wonderful day. ❤️
