CS, Define to me what Chasiddus means? The chazal say איזהו חסיד המתחסד עם קונו who is a chosid who does right with his Creator, One who does לפנים משורת הדין one who does extra. King David says שמרה נפשי כי חסיד אני a chosid needs extra protection because he does more than required, so the border line becomes hazy and unclear. Also, כל הגדול מחבירו יצרו גדול ממנו the tzadik has a greater yetzer hara because as we mentioned he has a higher neshomo. Look at the mesilas yeshorim on shaar hachasidim.
