Fix What You Are Here To Fix

 If you read what people are writing on line, you will read what is wrong with the government, the health care system, the educational system, the courts, law enforcement etc. etc. etc. So much wrong with so many things!! 

But wait!! What are we NOT reading about??? Nobody is writing about what is wrong with THEM. Yes, indeed! We are all riddled with faults and inadequacies. We have our positive side as well but that doesn't negate ALLLL that is wrong with us.

We have ..... gyveh, tyveh, kinah, sinah, impatience, excessive love of and connection to money, enmity to others, resentment, egotism, laziness and the list is loooooooooooooonnnnggggggg. 

So heck, instead of writing and reading so much about what is messed up about Biden or Fauci [back in the good ol' days of the "Faucian Dystopia"] or Netanyahu, or everything/body and anything/body else, instead focus on something you actually have control over - YOURSELF!!! 

We are in this world to fix OURSELVES. We couldn't fix others even if we tried. Of course we are responsible for others as well. כל ישראל ערבים זה בזה. But the main focus has to be on fixing ourselves and thereby we will impact others as well. There are very few בני עליה in the world whose focus is תיקון עצמי. It is MUCH EASIER to focus on what is wrong with everyone else or to watch sports and movies.    

So SWEETEST FRIENDS!!! WHATTTAAAA LIFE when the focus is on "והלכת בדרכיו" - Being like Hashem as much as we can.
