What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

they're more naturally happy oriented they're more oriented towards gaiety towards subra some people by nature are more uh introspective and serious and a little more heavy it has to do with nature it has to do with it's called mother living it has to do obviously with nature with nurture and in avoidance hashem there's also two streams he says just focusing on challenging myself on unfeeling the pain of that which needs healing and then there's the focus on the beauty and on the closeness and on the opportunity and on the gift and he says in both situations you have to be careful and be aware of the prison and the trap of the ashes the trap in the prison of being disconnected and using all of these emotions as a coping mechanism to cover over for the disconnection and therefore it you sometimes see a person who in terms of his own life he's very humble and introspective but the moment i see in you something that triggers me it's very hard for me to deal with it because my humility is not genuine i mean it's everything is genuine in its own way it's coming to protect something but it's the myth that's not it's not worked out it's a way of dealing with my own sense of separateness we explained it at length and he finished off quoting the radak that cinema in la takana that a hatred that comes because of jealousy it's very very hard to fix because your existence bothers me your existence your success so now he continues even though we know that there is a virtue in kinah we call it envy or jealousy spiritually kamashikasaf it's the jealousy the competitiveness of scribes of sages
