    We are supposed to love/like others just the way they are.

    But the “This is how I am–take me or leave me” refrain is NOT the Torah way.

    Here’s what I mean.

    “Listen,I’m not patient,get used to it,plug your ears if you want,this is how I grew up,and finished!”

    “I like to eat a tub of ice cream in one shot.So shoot me!I enjoy my food,and if you don’t like how I look,turn the other way!”

    I sometimes think this attitude is caused by YEE-OOSH/Despair.

    What do you think?

    it could be YeeOosh, it could be laziness. it could be bad upbringing.

    g-d always loves us, no matter how far we go. yes pple should love and accept us the way we are. we have to dig inside ourselves and reach higher and higher. sometimes we fall, but then we can bounce right back again. you can have your choice, eat the ice cream and maybe have bad health, or eat a little and focus on other stuff, g-d stands by you but you get to choose.

    amichai,I am not the one saying those things.

    If anything,I am soooo hard on myself,a tzadik once told me:For you,Yom Kippur is enough!

    Meaning,I didn’t have to introspect as critically/often.
