Justifying the Judgment
Question
What does the Rabbi think about justifying the judgment? (And how should one relate, from a religious perspective, to an unjust reality or one that is simply difficult?)
Is one really supposed to give thanks for bad things?
Answer
One should give thanks for the world that was created for us. It contains both bad and good, but they are consequences of the nature of the world, not of specific involvement by the Holy One, blessed be He. Therefore there is neither anything to thank for nor to revile. One should try to cope and deal with it.
