The Rebbe on: The inevitability that Goodness will fight and prevail
By zevi770 · January 19, 2012
What is the best way to deal with evil and the pain it causes?
Faith leads us to the most fascinating – and pragmatic – conclusion: We should not get stuck in our hearts or minds, on trying to resolve this question, for we can never answer it adequately!
Instead of wasting our time dwelling on the negative, we should be concentrating on all the good that we are empowered by G-d to accomplish.
We have the ability to counter the forces of evil, by shining the light of goodness on them.
And we have the certitude that good will prevail.
This confidence goes beyond common optimism.
Because goodness is the natural state of the world and humankind, its effect is eternal and cumulative.
All of man’s good works through the ages are building blocks, leading up to a final triumph of goodness in the world.
Moral lapses are not flaws, but by products of this process.
It is to be expected that when the forces of goodness show strength, the forces from where evil originate will endeavor to retaliate and that they will make their final stand just on the verge of their total collapse.
