Reply To: Is it wrong to secretly not want moshiach to come

“Your moshol seems to prove my point – during those two years you were probably wishing every day for a parking spot, You didn’t secretly wish that you wouldn’t get a parking spot.”

And every day people are wishing for moshiach to come to get rid of THEIR OWN problems so they can experience the bliss of what happens after death without the death process. Its human nature, but that does not mean its what Hashem sent us here for in the first place. Ideally, I should have said I hope I don’t get the parking spot if thats what Hashem wants from me now and it will give me the best chance to grow.

“I think that speaks more to human nature than the way things should be. We don’t truly appreciate what we have unless we don’t have it”

That goes against the basic premise of why mesilas yehsarim says we were sent here in the first place. That we cant appreciate what we have unless we earned it for ourselves and part of that earning it is not having it until that point.

“Adam chose to pick a fight, so now we have to fight and deal with death. But that is not our ideal state!”

Again, this goes against the basic premise- that earning through fight and effort is better than receiving for free.
