My Parsha teacher really delivered a fantastic shiur related to this. She said that Moshe Rabbeinu had a real difficult childhood (was adopted, wasn’t allowed to leave the palace, ran away to Midya etc.etc), and look who he turned out to be! He had real difficult middos, and look what a great tzaddik and navi he was! He was in fact the greatest navi of all! You have a hundred thousand reasons to be depressed, go OTD etc. There are a million ppl you can blame for what you’re doing. But where does it get you? If there’s a banana peel on the floor, and you slipped, you won’t sit there crying and blaming the banana peel. Get up, and throw the banan peel in the trash! Nobody said the banana peel doesn’t exist, or that it didn’t cause you to slip. But now what? Sit there and cry??
Not blaming blahbla of course, she’s getting help already. It just that it got me thinkin’, y’know. I sometimes blame my bad mood on my classmate, sibling etc. We gotta learn to pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and forgive and forget.
