Unreacting


Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

The nature of a human being is to simply react, to throw back at others the medicine they mete out to you.

This is what Rava, the Babylonian Jewish sage, would advise: Ignore the urge to return bad with bad, hurt with hurt, scorn with scorn--and the heavens will ignore your scorning, your hurting, your acts that were not good.

G-d shadows man. Go beyond your nature with others and so He will do with you.

Unreacting
I admit this is a state which I need to do work on. It is difficult to accomplish with all the hypocrisy, false actions in our society and dogmatic attitude which is prevalent at the moment. But, yes, to be able to unreact is a tremendous achivement.

I am a psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and psychotherapist.
I have integrated many of The Chabad teachings into my work with patients, as well as into my own life.
They often have meaning to Jew and Gentile, to believer and non-believer alike.

valuable lesson
This is one of the most valuable lessons one can learn. It is the key to personal and professional success, constant self improvement, healthy marriages, and personal happiness. But it is VERY hard to really follow.

the greatest is love......
............I thank you so much, this was just what I needed now.
Sometimes it is necessary to go deeper to search and let the good things overcome and to give everyone a new start just like G-d does.
