Perspective Change - R. Meir Simcha Sperling - TorahAnytime.com

But a famous story that was said about that somebody once came over to and he said that he's making a small kdish but there was to a baby girl and responded a small kdish. Why a small kdish? So he said we're making a kdish. You know my wife and I had a baby girl. We're making a kdish. I don't know. He said I want to ask you a question. Imagine you waited 15 years for this baby girl. Imagine procedure after procedure doctor after doctor after what what it took to get to have a baby after 15 years. All these different procedures. You can't imagine what goes on in with what they have. Would you also make a small kdish? He said, "Of course not. If that was the case, I'd be making a kdish." That's like unbelievable. After 15 years, we waited and my speech would be unbelievable. He said, "So, let me get this straight." Who saved you 15 years of pain and suffering and you just had the baby just like that and you're making a small kdish. I don't understand. How does that make any sense? Like, I don't get that. And it's just all all that is is a perspective change. Realize that you don't have to go through such hard things to just appreciate how awesome is for us. Anybody who's married, anybody who's married, anybody who's able to walk, anybody's able to hear, you're able to listen. If you know you have pain in life, anyone who knows they're going through a hard thing means that there are trillions of moving things in their body and in their brain that lets them know that they're going through pain. Your brain is telling you I'm going through something hard. That's an unbelievable thing. Some people can't feel pain. So, just the fact that you know you're going through a painful thing is tremendous.
