adapted from a shiur by Alan Jay Sufrin, adapted from a shiur by Rebbe Nachman of Breslov
Don’t run away.
Deal with this person
until you find
something good.
Seek out
the part about them
still unturned
At some point
we were infants
who have offended no one
and if now
as an adult
someone is evil
you must go back
to that infancy
[sc name="ad-300x600"]
and once you have found
that sliver of good
they are no longer completely evil
if you can find
that good thing
you can change them entirely
to do this
is every person’s
responsibility
and until
they do penance
you have redeemed them
and if I can do this
for another
I must do it
even more so
for myself
