because he would not give you a test that you can't pass. He's a loving God, not a uh he's not looking for you to to fail. He's looking to for you to succeed, so he's going to give you a test that you can pass. Now, the path to success will have failures in it. Failure is inevitable necessity in the path of success. Nobody just goes from zero to success in anything. Anyone that reaches any level of success, whether it's in serving Hashem, or it's in a good marriage, or it's in business, or anything else, they will have failure until they reach success. So, the fact that you're failing along the way is doesn't make you unique. Makes you normal. Now, that doesn't mean that failure is is is okay to just decide that, "Okay, if I failed, I might as well just continue failing." No. What we're we're allowed to fail, but we're not allowed to give up. Meaning, failure is expected. Hashem knows what he created. He created us as, you know, people and not as robots. So, failure is expected, but we're not allowed to just accept failure as this is it. No, we have to keep trying to get up. It's just like if somebody fell, they wouldn't if they fell three times in a row, they got you know, they they they walking somewhere and they fell, and then they got up and they fell again, and they got up and they fell again. No. Nobody would just say, "You know what? If I fell already three times, I'm just going to stay on the ground for the rest of my life." No, what do you do? You get up again. Yeah, but I fell already three times. Okay, so you fell three times, so you go again. What if I fall four times? So, you fall four times, you get up four times.
