Tzoris has a way of reordering your perspective on life and prioritizing things for you. It is amazing how what you once thought was so very important or what was a must have seems so trivial after you go through real tzar. Food tastes different, things look different, smell different and feel different. You see things in a different light. Sometimes your world turns upside down and sometimes it turns right side up depending on how you look at it. What you thought you needed you realize is just things you really wanted and don’t really need at all. What seemed so urgent before all of a sudden can wait for eternity. People who always rush seem to find time to stop and smell the roses. People who were too laid back realize life is too short and they better hurry to get things done. Sometimes people turn bitter and are unreachable and sometimes they give more of themselves and become more accessible. Either way I believe that tzoris always has a huge impact on a person.
