Machshava:

Middot 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Birrur Hamidos

Description

Every midda (character trait) has a flip side. There is a time to use the midda and a time to use the flip side. There is a time to act like a defendant and a time to act like a prosecutor. There is a time to act humble and a time to act haughty. Together with the bechora (right to be the firstborn) we acquired the ability to perform righteousness or evil, and we have to choose righteousness.
