You Are Judged in Shamayim the Same Way You Judge Others

You Are Judged in Shamayim the Same Way You Judge Others

BEWARE OF FINDING FAULTS

A Melech is a higher person who is Machshiv everyone (Rambam³) including himself. Indeed, Chazal say: חַיָּב כָּל אֶחָד וְאֶחָד לוֹמַר בִּשְׁבִילִי נִבְרָא הָעוֹלָם סנהדרין לז א every person is obligated to say: "The entire universe was created just for me!” In Y'mei HaDin especially, beware of being a “Din” (judgmental) person. Don't be critical! They will judge you in Shamayim the same way you judge others. It is known that on Leil Rosh Hashanah you must be especially careful with Ka'as, and it's Chas V'shalom a bad Siman.

Dovid HaMelech was extreme in seeing good, even in his worst enemies. We see what makes a person a Gadol and a leader for Klal Yisroel. Being critical (even to yourself) makes you a small unimportant person

TRUE STORY

Recently, a police captain came to my house, and he told me that whenever a motorist argues with the cop, then he's heading for a ticket. But when he softens up and apologizes about his no-good driving, then the cop can let you go, since he sees your Hachna'a. יַעַן כִּי נִכְנַע אַחְאָב מ"א כא כט. Learning Mussar shows Hachna'a and admittance that you need to improve. Hachna'a and Hoda'ah are #1 forms of true Teshuva.
