Happiness and pride in your achievements!

By zevi770 · May 28, 2013

Sefer Yetzirah, the foundational book on Kabbalah teaches “there is no happiness greater than pleasure, and no pain worse than getting hurt (whether in body and especially heart / dignity”) but the goal, is, not to seek pleasure only, and avoid pain; for the true joy in life comes from feeling proud of yourself, which has nothing to do with pleasure, nor anything to do with pain; it has to do with helping others! but in order to do so, a person must on one hand have happiness, for when God-forbid a person is any kind of pain, their first instinct is to get rid of it, so THAT becomes their focus, but by considering another’s pain – hence you are not in pain, but you become cognizant of another’s need, you then marry all these factors; resulting in happiness and pride in your achievements!
