Prayer Insight 10

we spoke how your state of happiness will affect the amount that you feel that Hashem loves you whether you choose to appreciate all the gifts that you have or whether you choose to focus on everything that went wrong will affect how much you feel her showing love similarly how much you gossip about people negatively how much you go forbid speak loshon hora will directly affect how much you feel Hashem loves you the Talmud says an amazing statement that a person who speaks Russian hora who gossips negatively it's like denying God himself now I understand that it's bad but how is it liked 9 God so let me explain there's a beautiful Torah book called duties of the heart it's a self growth book is fantastic and he gives in an analogy he says a rabbi and a student are walking down the street and I see a dead dog the student looks at the dead does it look at that dead dog how awful that the rabbi in his wisdom says yes but look how white his teeth are in life what we choose to speak about it's up to us if we just speak about everything that went wrong you come home you get on the phone start speaking about what this person says you what this person did wrong what this person or the bad things that they did you know what happens when you do that you look at the world as being bad and then you say how could it be that God could have created such a terrible world on the other hand if you go through life and you choose to speak but all the beautiful things how white people's teeth are how special it is that that they did this or that they did this they cared about me they gave to me oh then that spills out into how you look at all of life not just people but the whole world and you'll see the goodness in it so when you choose to speak be careful because when you speak negatively then it affects you and it affects how you look at the world and affects how you feel Shems love and when you speak positively about people and you speak positively about what's going on in the world then you see and you internalize how beautiful the world is and how much a shaman loves us because he gave us that beautiful world
