Description

If we think that our thoughts are always in Torah, we’re kidding ourselves. Our essence depends on our thinking. Under the pretense of legitimate criticism, we may be vicariously indulging our desires. Critical thoughts can be valid if we don’t have that desire. We are generally self-absorbed. True empathy is one of the hardest qualities to develop. If we were secluded in an ideal environment, we’d miss the very impurity we complain about now.
