Are your sufferings precious? Are the trials dear to you? Can they be? ❦ Mussar Conversation #8
Now that we've seen what "yasar" means in Biblical Hebrew, let's look at how it was used after the Bible was written down and also look at another noun that comes from that verb - "yissur". We all experience "yissurin", but what do we do with them? Do we frame them positively and allow our trials and sufferings to correct us, even seeing them as visitations of divine love to be held dear and precious? If you practice Mussar now, then you'll be ready for the yissurin that will inevitably come.
