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

Lifnei: Thanks that answer is interesting. It was certainly helpful. Yes, there are answers.

My whole point in this question was to address the mindset of MOST people I have personally spoken with and read online- that they seem to want moshiach to come as an solution to their own personal problems and hardships. There is nothing wrong with wanting this, but I dont think moshiach is the right place for that and you must acknowledge that olam haba brings about a similar solution- which begs the question why we were sent here in the first place.

“The coming of Moshiach starts the hard work, and the most rewarding work.”

Thats fine if you view moshiach as starting the hard work. I am asking this question to the people who view moshiach coming not as increasing work, but the opposite- DECREASING work. There is a problem in my opinion though when you start judging what type of work or challenge is better than others. Hashem gives each human being their own challenge. So I guess the best way to ask for moshiach is to say “please bring moshiach now, but only if its truly the best thing for us in the long run”.
