Question
Hello, a person who tends to hold grudges, be strict, and avoid people who have hurt him, how can he train himself to get rid of such bad habits? Studying Mussar?
Answer
Hello
Indeed, studying Mussar is the only way. However, one must understand what studying Mussar is.
A person who studies books every day that deal with the correction of the specific trait he struggles with will, over time, acquire the ability to cope.
It is in human nature to find it difficult to deal with challenges, but through long-term internalization, one acquires the ability on a subconscious level to interpret it differently and learn a more appropriate response.
