Good week Rabbi
Our interpretation of the events we experience during the day is what determines how we feel and how we react. If in 2000, at the height of the intifada, I saw a man with a long beard getting on a bus, I would immediately assume that he was a terrorist who was going to blow up the bus. I would be scared anyway and probably get off the bus quickly. Suddenly someone shouts at him from behind, "Daddy, what's up, what a beard you grew on your trip to India," and then I calm down.
The belief that sustenance comes from heaven, that everything is under private and precise providence, that there is a meaning to suffering, gives the person who believes in it peace of mind and peace of mind, because if my interpretation of my situation is like this, the above feelings are bound to arise in me.
Since I became acquainted with the rabbi, with the trilogy, I have been convinced by your systematic mishna. Da aka the "accumulative" of the believing person that is expressed in the mental concepts such as private providence and sustenance from heaven, I no longer live them. And when I lived them, I was more calm and peaceful. More than that, I love listening to lectures and of course the lessons of the rabbis at our Beit Midrash are all I thought until I got to know your path and I feel "a little too much" does not belong.
Despite the above, are there tools, mental concepts that can help a person who believes in the reality of the Creator and the truth of the Torah? Or is the starting point (from the perspective of interpreting events – what I wrote above) for me as a religious person and for my friend who does not observe the Torah and commandments the same point?
With great respect

Unfortunately, I am not a man of good tidings for you. My attitude to what is happening in the world is that of a secular man. Although life has meaning and we have different tasks than those in the secular view, we do not have different expectations of what will happen in given circumstances. Given circumstances A, what is expected to happen for me is B, just as what is expected for my secular colleague. As Karl Marx rightly said: Religious consolations are the opium of the masses. But here's the glass half full: take comfort (!) in the fact that you have freed yourself from your childish dependence on fictional comforts, and now you are truly serving God, not in order to receive an (immediate) reward. You have grown up.
