    Me? I aspire to emulate the ways of David HaMelech, ???? ?????? ????? ?? to Daven and feel for someone who has wronged myself. To help out and befriend a competitor. To ask Mechila and appease, comfort someone whom has insulted, slandered or abused me. To truly be a ???? ???? ??? ???.

    Zeeskite; You have enumerated lofty goals, indeed. I personally am not at this (Lofty) Madregah, yet. My present (spiritual) standing is, that if attacked, (Mostly verbally) I plead with the attacker to cease and desist before I unleash a befitting retort, which the perpetrator will surely not like. I am (B”H) blessed with a sharp tongue that can really penetrate the kishkes (Guts, blaa”z). As far as flying off the handle (You) due to a (Chronic) cold. It’s simple. Take some over the counter cold remedy.

    I know it’s a bit lofty, if I keep on it, thinking about it, something of this may rub off, or it might just click in one day.

    btw Is your ‘keyboarding’ as sharp as you tongue too? Do we have to keep a distance?

    I strive to love every single Yid, to forgive, to accept others for who they are, to be REALLY happy when they get/have something I lack, to understand, to be dan lekaf zechus …. Have I missed anything, Zees? Refuah Sheleima! I wish you a speedy recovery!!

    Zeeskite; No. my ‘keyboarding’ isn’t so “Sharp”. You don’t have to keep a distance. Wish you could see the pieces (Posts) the Mods (Both, here and the other Jewish website.) didn’t let through.

    Thanks for you well wishes.

    I may write more on this later, with the olam’s approval.

    ZeesKite — If one is truly happy for their friend’s good luck, success, happiness, then they would not have the jealousy problem. The question is how do you get to the point of not being jealous? Many of the sifrei mussar explain jealousy as coming from a lack of emunah, rather than as you imply a lack of Ahavas Yisroel. In other words, if we could somehow truly internalized the concept that Hashem runs the world, and that what someone else has in no way “takes away” from what we have, and that Hashem is absolutely just and exacting in his cheshbonos even if to us it doesn’t seem “fair”, there would be no more jealousy.

    See? I told you it was my VERY humble opinion. People don’t believe me. Brains and zees kites don’t always go together. (live in Israel? Avira D’Eretz Yisroel Machkim)

    Yes, you’re right. Emuna is the root of the problem. Thanks for taking the time to correct me.
