Description

p. 71. The difference between something that's just hard to do and something that requires chochmah (wisdom). Am I fixing the workings of the car or merely washing the car? And similarly, am I tinkering with the external parts of my middos (character traits) or can I dig deep inside? We can know the innermost truth about our middos - sometimes we just don't want to acknowledge that. Lying to ourselves and othes to avoid facing the fact that we might be wrong. What are the real reasons for our actions? Several examples of crooked reasoning to explain away our actions.
