Sometimes that happens to me too, yes. Then I find myself shocked back into remembering that, “Right, Hashem controls everything. Sorry about that. Thanks Hashem.” Sometimes, when I find myself getting haughty about something I quickly realize, and thank Hashem for giving me what I have, and then stay a little bit nervous for a couple of minutes looking out for poles and sharp knives.
You’re not alone. I guess it’s the last avenue where Hashem feels He can still in a sense hit us with a bolt of lightning right after we do something wrong. Personally, I feel pretty cool when something like that happens. Like I’m good enough that He feels like He can communicate so clearly to me in this way 🙂
Then again, if I wasn’t busy believing that I’m the one who creates good for myself, then He wouldn’t have needed to shock me back, so it’s all relative!
