Meaning of Trust 11

[Ayelet1]

This class was heavy, by its very nature. The part started a thought-process-change the most was how it's worthwhile for a child  or anybody to suffer (in order to wake others up spiritually) and gain Olam HaBa. We learned many times that this world is only a fleeting means towards a real and enduring end, but this (child worthwhile suffering) really brought it home for me. It's hard for me (probably us) to picture a state where we will look back and see this world as a wisp of nothingness that's sole purpose was to get us to a place that's "really real." Baruch Hashem we have the Torah and people who help us to feel this reality! Hatzlacha to everybody, me included on integrating all that we learned.

The thought about the 400 vs. 210 years, that it could've been a lasting geula if we could've "held out" and had a full cleansing, was one of the most compelling thoughts on suffering that I've heard, and I've taken the Nesiv Hayisurim class, among others, so I've definitely heard a lot on the topic. I've often heard that suffering is good because it's purposeful, but hearing that not suffering the full measure can have serious consenquences just made such a greater impact.

[Hadassa1]

One thought that meant a lot to me, was the idea that suffering can bring about changes in other people. This can add a level of comfort as often when someone goes through a difficult time, they feel very alone. Just the thought that suffering can bring light to other people can erase feeling of isolation and increase awareness of connection to Klal Yisrael!
