Youth love unconditionally for they have never experienced the harshness of human instincts, anger, revenge; adults often isolate their world reacting only “professionally” for they are protecting themselves from the harshness of the human instincts e.g. anger, revenge, the ultimate is a balance whereby one feels secure in their ability to give what is given like Jacob who successfully fought both Laban and Eisav, a conman and evil respectively, but at the same time did not close himself off emotionally and was a loving person.

The methodology is to use the trick of Jacob, namely Abraham was like that idealistic youth, loving unconditionally, Isaac was a bit like the adult, but Jacob saw life differently, he saw life through the prism of mercy.

 

Abraham is pure love – which is unrealistic

 

Issac was pure strictness which is unhealthy

 

Jacob was what we would commonly call a psychoanalyst, he didn’t see evil as a negative rather as a disease so the essence of the evil person is also good but his evil has infected him – he himself desires to be good – which is the truth – but his ego or instincts have infected his bloodstream so instead of love, the natural disposition, he operates out of malice or hate.
