Description
p. 73. In working on our middos (character traits), we need to focus on surgically removing only the bad rather than throwing out the baby with the bathwater. We must understand, and apply chochma (wisdom) when working on our character. It's hard to see things clearly when we work on ourselves... and even once we recognize that we must change, we have to investigate and learn, and ask a she'elah (question) how to go about this process. The soul of a person is a complicated thing and requires intense study to be understood. Tikkun (fixing) hammidos cannot be accomplished with a red string in exchange for a $100 bill. The Ramchal's Mesilas Yesharim: Every word is chochmas kabbalah (mysticisim) - wirtten so that we have a chance to understand.
