Reply To: The Worst Midda

coffee addict:

Every midda can be used for good and bad. That’s why in every sha’ar the Orchos Tzadikim explains both the good aspects and bad aspects of the midda. That being said, the bad of certain middos can be worse than the bad of other middos and the good of certain middos can be better than the good of other middos.

DaasYochid:

If you say that there bad in different ways then you don’t have to say that they all stem from/are a form of ???? (although clearly the first three are). This was indeed my original suggestion, but I would like someone to explain in what way Ahava is the worst and in what way Mispaer b’chachmaso sheain bo is the worst etc.
