PHILO, the problem is that not everything on your mind or in your heart has to come out of your mouth. So if you see a child that is OTD, you don’t have to say anything. If you choose to say Hello, leave it at that. You don’t have to analyze them, or offer your opinion of what you think of them. Today they are holding where they are holding but tomorrow or a hundred tomorrows from today, they might turn their lives around and find their way back. Being so angry and so harsh because you were able to make different choices for yourself even though you were hurt will not help anyone, not even you. Hashem did not appoint you for the job of “shofet”, HE is still in charge and is still in charge of HIS relationship with these children. It will all happen on HIS time line and not on yours. So your ranting and raving, your opinions, your anger your disgust all for the so called honor of Hashem is pointless. Hashem hasn’t given up on them, and neither have many of us. WE have enough bitachon and emunah in Hakadosh Boruch HU, that he will send them the right shelichim to help them heal their pain and turn their lives around and back on track to find their way home again.
