Life Is Good When We Have Bitachon In HaShem

said death is better dying is better than not having me that's how horrible it is because you're suffering and you have no idea why we know that if we have life is good Sami salant you know Israel who does not put a person to death until his measure is full what does it mean his measure is full imagine a bottle and the bottle gets full with more and more sins once it reaches the top Hashem kills the person says Hashem doesn't kill the person until it reaches the top at that point he is wicked he shall die in his Equity says the Torah and continues thereafter seeing and you this is why this is bringing the prophet and you if you warn the wicked one concerning his path to turn from it but he does not turn from his way in other words he's not moved by the rebuke for if it did move him and he sensed his shortcomings he would be considered as one who is capable of repenting but was previously unaware of his wickedness however since he did not respond to rebuke he is classified as being unable to repent and therefore he shall die in his iniquity even if his measure is not full and is this instance although he is not classified as being Wicked meaning that his measure is not full he will still die because of his iniquity since he's not aroused by rebuke the almighty's uh is extrapolative analysis shows that he will not come to repent and what is his remedy to awaken within himself a sense of this deficiency by arousing feelings of Anguish and sorrow he will thereby enter the company of those who repent and he will live Islam gives us an atomic bomb that puts everything in perspective and this is what he says if you have betahon you literally have everything why because by having betahon first and foremost whatever problems are sent your way are just simply ways of communications between you and Hashem it's like you and Hashem are having a conversation why because you know that everything he's sending you is the best possible option he knows what's good for you better than what you know it's good for you and therefore life is not bad in fact life is good and as you gain more and more betahon you gain deeper and deeper connection with Hashem you start from the ground up by realizing you have to fix yourself by learning musar by overcoming the obstacles the yetzera by developing this yearning to connect to Hashem and look for him everywhere not just hope that Hashem turns into some lotto ticket and gives you presents all the time but rather everything you're getting is a present that's having been on the other hand not having beta Khan which is literally compared to death by Yeshua benon and Caleb benyafune he says you see if you don't have betahon not only do not have everything I just said where the problems do you look much bigger than what they really are the difficulties look like they're never going to end the pain looks like it's simply too much to handle life is never good why because it's not before difficulties the pleasing parts of life are so minuscule that you don't even have time to enjoy before the next problem appears even to have a party if you're the host that means you're not really going to enjoy the party you're simply going to be serving a bunch of people and dealing with problems the only people that enjoy themselves are the guests so literally life is terrible without me why because you're looking at life at face value not at Divine value death is better but even worse yet when a person does not have betahon that means that when they pray they don't really believe that Hashem is there so they don't have kavana when they don't have cavana when they pray that means that they're not really connecting to Hashem which is the purpose of the prayer when they're not connecting to Hashem as the purpose of the prayer that means that they're not changing themselves and therefore there is absolutely no reason for Hashem to change the decree and when Hashem doesn't change the decree things continue and deteriorate actually even further and a person that doesn't have in the first place continues to suffer even more and this suffering leads this person to Rebel to stop even doing what they are doing whatever good they were doing they're not doing anymore in fact they start regretting whatever good they did and even those small sins that would have been forgivable had they had any level of real connection to Hashem become the biggest sins in the world why because all of the rebuke that Hashem sent him from the shoe from the USBs from the books from the different life experiences that they're dealing with all of the different forms of rebuke were supposed to encourage them to change to connect to a ship to develop but because they did not connect with him they did not accept the pitahon that one tiny little sin fills up the entire cup as if the whole cup is full and they literally can get a death penalty for it that's what be so insulin is saying he's saying the cup is not not full but because he has no ability to accept the rebuke to accept the musar he's just rejecting it he doesn't want to hear scary stuff he doesn't think he needs to change she doesn't think she needs to adjust her wardrobe she doesn't think that it's our problem she thinks it's a husband's problem guess what that attitude can get you killed even though it doesn't seem like it's such a bad thing but it's the attitude that puts a person's mindset at such a fashion such a position where it's literally they have no ability to repent they have no ability to do chuva and Hashem says once it's decreed that this person has no ability to do chuva the cup fills up even by the smallest sin so on one end you have this horrible analysis and conclusion while on the other you have life is good as David Malik says in talim chapter 73 verse 28 assembly tov getting closer to Hashem is good for me on one end if I don't have emunai I'm like the milk leave if I'm not I feel like says has a lot of problems yeah but it's close to Hashem that means all the problems are just simply conversations with him is a critical lesson that if we would simply take this to Heart will change our life we'll change our families we'll change our communities we'll change our eternities it will make the whole process more pleasing than Even Heaven on Earth [Music]
