Jewish Thinking
The Man Looks at the Present, the Woman at the Past
Again, red spots invaded the face, hands and legs of the little Chaya. Her parents, very worried, ran from one doctor to another, inquiring here and there to finally go to a dispensary of alternative medicine, specializing in allergic diseases.
They spent a lot of money to learn with relief that Chaya, barely four years old, was only suffering from an allergy to dairy, bread and cereal products.
On the way home, everyone was deep in thought.
He was gripped by worry. He hoped with all his strength that he and his wife could get the little girl adjusted to these important changes. No more cookies and Bisli, waffles, bread and cheese and especially the chocolate milk that she loves so much.
Will she bear the test that HaKadosh Baruch Hu sent her ?!
And his wife…
In front of her eyes, her first days since the birth of Chaya flashed by. “Who knows what the cause of her allergy could be?” she thought to herself. "Maybe it's because I started adding milk substitute far too soon?" Remorse began to gnaw at her. "Perhaps I did not love her enough when I was still a young mother, and I dwell too much on minor details such as her barrettes, her muslins or the color of her socks?"
The man
In general, men focus on existing problems.
The woman
Women tend to usually deal with problems from the past.
Solution
"There is no past, the future is not there yet and the present disappears in the blink of an eye; where do the worries come from?"
Just focus on the existing problems. It is a shame to lose your life by dwelling on the past. The past was painful? Did you make mistakes? Do not indulge in suffering and despair. Let us detach ourselves from the past while learning from it and trust that everything happened, just as Heaven wanted it. A Jew is always on the move, his eyes filled with hope and his mind full of new and invigorating ideas.
