I had written during the month of Elul:
"Some of what I thought about:
"Although one of the concepts I tried to learn about was anger, I must admit that I still think of anger as sin. Isn't it odd how when the Bible is clear on a concept, we still fall victim to those things we've been taught rather than the Truth of the Word? Obviously sanctification must include adamant rethinking of what we have been taught with knowledgeable comparison to what the Bible really says! How many times do I have to relearn this?"
◌ "Don't rush to reach a negative conclusion about another. Thus, if you see someone of whom you have reason to think well engaging in behavior that seems wrong, don't assume that all that you've thought about the person is wrong, for there may be an explanation for the person's behavior that has never occurred to you" [Telushkin, pages 71-72].
And how many times have I had to learn this?
