when a child is born they're lying there
in the crib the parents look at this
baby they have
this this feeling of Pride look at this
baby this beautiful baby they
fell and then something happens where
that feeling of Pride it's
replaced with something else with
something different instead of having
this feeling of this perfect baby this
perfect
gift all of a sudden and and and when
when we look at the baby there are no
strings attached nobody says to their
baby why don't you grow up learn how to
talk form a personality we'll go out for
coffee we'll see if we can strike up a
conversation and then I'll decide if I
like you nobody says that to their
baby you look at your baby and
automatically there's a
bond but then after a while some happens
where it's
like
that positive regard that you once had
for this
child is no longer unconditional it
becomes very
conditional it becomes Behavior based it
becomes based on performance what you do
how I feel about you has to do with what
you
do now that those those were not the
terms and conditions when when the child
was an infant you had no problem having
positive feelings about your child based
on nothing that they've done in fact
they can do nothing but just who they
are but then at some point for some
reason what happens is instead of having
this good
feeling and this connection based on who
my child
is now it all becomes based on what my
child
does why does that happen
why do we do
that I understand you I mean I get it
babies can't do anything so you don't
hold them to that standard I get that
and as they get older they are capable
of doing things I get that but that
doesn't ex follow me here that explains
why you don't have expectations of a
baby's behavior and therefore you don't
have that we call the nas based on what
they do and with with an older child or
with an adult you can actually be proud
of their actions I get that but it
doesn't
explain what happened to the pride and
the love that you had for the baby that
was not based on what they
do you understand what I'm saying why
did that go
away why was that replaced with a new
type of positive regard that's totally
based on Behavior there there there's
two
types of
Pride and they can both be true at the
same
time there's a concept Hashem looks at
us at his
children and
says I appreciate when I told you to do
something you did what I told you have I
feel good about
that which implies if you don't do it
then I'm not going to have that Nas so
that's conditional and that's a real
thing I'm not saying it doesn't
exist but then there's something
else distinct and separate from
that which is a different type of Pride
which is
unconditional where Hashem says about
the Jewish
people they're all really hem did you
look at did you see I mean
the branch of my planting the work of my
hands in which to take pride Le means to
take pride not just Hashem loves every
Jew Hashem is proud of every Jew how
could he be proud of every
Jew when they'll do something that that
makes him proud then he'll be proud no
that's
the which is a separate
track what
about that Hashem is proud of you not
because of what you did but because of
what he did in making you
so Hashem looks at the Nish and says
look at what I
did the Nisha doesn't have to do
anything to be worthy of that Pride
Hashem is automatically proud just
because of who you
are why does that go
away why are we in tune with it when a
child is a
baby and why do we lose it and it gets
replaced with the conditional behavioral
based Pride as they grow up you
understand I'm not telling you to
pretend that there isn't such a thing as
behaviors that are pleasing and
behaviors that are
displeasing I think that's a big
hysterical sometimes I think even
willful misunderstanding people want to
pretend that we're saying there's no
such thing as desirable behaviors and
undesirable behaviors not saying that
what I'm saying
is there's a positive regard that Hashem
has for every Jew that is not
based on
behavior and that is the exact same
positive regard that we're really
supposed to have for all of each
other which is the Mitzvah of a positive
regard we're supposed to have for every
Nish that's not based on Behavior that's
not based on what they do it's purely
based on who they are which is
unchanging and if and
really really you're obligated to to
have that feeling about every single L
you and all we're saying is at least
could you do it for your
kids at least do it for your
kids look at your child and see that no
matter what they
do that is separate and
distinct from who they are they always
were they always will be hey this is
