Hi dear friends, it is Rouge TV and I wanted to uh introduce the idea of um social experiment that they did recently and uh two groups of people they needed to go to the interview. The first group they had a scar in their face. They drew a scar from ear to the mouth and the second group was um normal without any scars. So when I went to the interview, the first group with the scar, they did very poorly in interview. They had a problem. They were not talking well. They were they they were very self-conscious. And the second group obviously they did very well in the interview. Very interestingly that the first group when right before they went inside they removed the scar. They removed the makeup of the scar and they went inside but they didn't know about it. Subconsciously they always had a scar in the mind. Each of us think about our scars. All of us have some problems, some issues in the life. And let's go to the pages of the Torah and see Ysef Sadi. He was thrown by his brother to the uh pit with the scorpions and the snakes. He was taken away his coat. He was sold to the be a slave. And even in a slavery when he did well in the house of Potifar, he went through the tribulations and he had to go to jail. And right after so many things he became advisory to the parro the right hand of the parro whenever his brothers came and they said Ysef please forgive us we did very wrong we didn't do we didn't do justif we didn't justice to you and Yseph said you thought to do bad thing to me but Hashem did Good. Why was able to see this? Because he knew this scar is not even a scar. It is Hashem sent him to the jail. It is Hashem sent him to to to be to become who he become to be. Hashem gives us some problems. We're thinking why all children are like children and you are not like all the children. Why his wife is such a good wife and not you are? by his husband. Such an amazing husband and now you are her husband, right? And uh we thinking why this friend has a better uh influence and and why this sh doing better and why we thinking about someone else doing better, not knowing. Hashem sends us this course to become better. Joseph knew without the jail, without his brothers hating him, without being able to be humiliated and to go through all of that, he would never become Ysef. And we should knowem whenever Hashem sends us problems, it is not to shalom hurt us. It is to build us. Is for us to become whoever Hashem has created to be.
