When something personally difficult happens to us, we cry, we feel the pain. Why? Bcz it hits home for we relate to it. This is one of the greatest tragedies of tsha bav that we dont even know what it is that we have lost in order to mourn it properly.aminspirationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226594722883362146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455785201122974355.post-17695159193872133282010-07-15T20:49:28.578-04:002010-07-15T20:49:28.578-04:00So timely.

I was wondering if I had any tears left.<br /><br />I did. I think it's about ahavas chinam, because if I look at a tragedy as happening to someone I really care about, it's going to strike me differently. But you're right- not always. We have to have defenses so we can manage.<br /><br />Your post reminds me of that pasuk- I'm blanking where it's from, exactly- "U'mal es levavchah", or something like that. <br /><br />Food for though for me.

I agree that this is something to work on, to <i>really</i> feel another person's pain and cry as if it is your own. <br /><br />May we be zoche soon to have our hearts of stone replaced with a heart of flesh, a heart that truly cares about one another-and by then we will be sharing in other peoples happy times instead of sharing and feeling in their pain!itsagifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942149774297914315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455785201122974355.post-74517085496187588922010-07-15T14:14:04.168-04:002010-07-15T14:14:04.168-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Brochihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610085176044969618noreply@blogger.com
