Uri is a 21 year old with SA (sexual addiction). He suffers from depression and comes from an insecure home. He's been "rocking" our forum for the past half a year with his emotional and inspiring posts, but he took a break from the forum for a few weeks when his sex-addiction therapist suggested that he connect more with real life as opposed to the "virtual life" on the computer. But now he's back in full swing - and in honor of his return I'd like to bring today a bunch of great posts from Uri from the past few days. Uri's posts are especially precious because in them, Uri shares with us the wisdom that he is internalizing from his sex-addiction therapist.
His question is often asked:
- Why are some people poor and some rich?
- Why do some suffer while some have seemingly easier lives?
- Why do some of us struggle with SA, while other people can get by without it?
- Why are many of us depressed with so many insecurities, while others not?
- Why do so many of us come from insecure homes while others come from unconditionally loving families?
The answer:
Hashem created the world in an imperfect state.
This is our job: To perfect the world.
Hashem therefore sent certain neshamos down with certain missions to perfect parts of the creation.
It is known that there is a individual mission, and a global mission.
My neshama has certain imperfections which I have to work on.
And then there is the world's imperfections - which certain types of people have the koach to change.
Some people are rich so that they can work on "giving". Because the world needs a certain amount of giving to be fixed. And the world needs a certain amount of "mesiras nefesh" to be fixed. The more difficult the nisayon, the greater effect it has on the world at large. Those that are poor were hand-picked by Hashem for this mission, because they have the ability to withstand this nisayon.
Chevra, we all know one serious defect this world has - and has always had: Lust.
It's maybe the biggest one out there.
And Hashem hand-picked some of his greatest neshamos and sent us on this mission.
So we unknowingly come down to this world, and our house sucks, and our life is difficult, and the lust rages and burns within us.
And when we overcome it, hen we fix it....
chevra, we are fixing the world.
Gevaldig!
