Description

p. 172. Loving every Jew with all his faults because we know that his neshomoh (soul) is completely pure. It is possible to love even an evil person. Hating the evil, the sickness, the disease in a person, but not the person himself. Digging deep and uncovering the good, the tzelem Elokim (divine part) in every person. The identifying characteristic of Moshiach. Low self esteem translates into going through friends very quickly. Stories of tzaddikim (righteous men). We see only our (and other's) faults, but a tzaddik sees how good we are! The way to climb out of the "self" is to "give" to others. Expanding my horizons from seeing the good in myself to feeling the good in others. The mechitzah (barrier) between the heart and the mind. Yosef HaTzaddik, who looked at the whole world with a good eye, was protected from the ayin harah (evil eye).
