101. Denying Reality

Despair is the diametric opposite of everything in which we believe
--in other words: it is a denial of reality.

It is a denial that there is a G-d that directs all of His creation and watches over every individual and assists each one in what he must accomplish…

This, too, Rabbi:
You once posted a thread here not too long on the same subject, and, in both cases,-

your commentaries came off as if the topics were personal to you, and you felt compelled to say what you did.

Depression and despair are not against G-d's directon, anymore then smiling all the time is for it.

The world is full of joyful appearing people who appear smiling all the time and yet are more prone to the yetzer hara (evil inclination) then the yetzer hatov (good inclination).

The most prevalent false facade a person puts on is the smile, a veneer of happiness, to hide that their intents lean towards evil more then towards the good.

By contrast, a depressed and frowning person is more likely being honest in their emotion, and can still be for the good.

I can sense, Rabbi, that there is something behind why you are posting these things.
