Chapter 11 Details of The Trait of Nekiyut/Cleanliness Page 212-214Removing Hatred, Revenge, and Ill Will

The sources discuss the significant difficulty of overcoming hatred, revenge, and harboring ill will, suggesting these negative emotions are only easily removed by angels and require substantial effort for humans. It is explained that while people may feel a sense of justice in seeking revenge or holding onto resentment, these actions ultimately harm the individual experiencing them more than the target, making the person smaller and angrier. The discussion also touches upon the concept of education versus retaliation, questioning whether retaliatory actions effectively teach others and suggesting that letting go of grudges after an offense has passed leads to a happier and lighter life, impacting future generations positively. Ultimately, the sources propose that seeing divine intervention in everything and recognizing how challenges have fostered personal growth can help in letting go of bitterness, contrasting this approach with the less effective methods of rebuke in modern society.
