Machshava:

Chassidut 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Bilvavi II

Description

Baale mussar look at something and no matter how perfect it is always try to find what is wrong whereas Chassidim view a bad situation and always try to find what's good in it. When we view others we should always see what is good whereas when we view ourselves we should be more critical. The search for truth is the avodah of our life. There is a great danger in assuming that we have a clear path and knows what to do to succeed. In fact, we will only succeed in trying, but cannot be sure that we will really succeed in obtaining the results. We cannot be sure of anything in life, other than the need to daven to Hashem that He show us the truth.
