Why are you turning away from Hashem to run after strange gods: אֲשֶר לֹא יְדָעוּם כט כה that you don’t even know about??! And that’s why the punishment is Galus: וַיִּּתְּשֵּׁם מֵּעַל אַדְמָּתָּם כט כז Hashem drove them out of their land! You don’t like what you have? You’ll end up somewhere else, with the Goyim, Chas V'shalom, and suffer, with inquisitions and Cossacks and Nazis and Crusades, and learn all the wickedness of the: אוּמוֹת הָּ עוֹלָּ ם nations of the world and their fake pleasures, Rachana Litzlan.
The burning issue of every human being is to work hard on seeing only good in his own situation. Like the Chovos Halvavos says that all types of unfortunates, like unmarried people, and: עַנִּיִּים the poor, should see only the good side of their Matzav, and try to see only the bad side of marriage and being wealthy!
“I Love Being Big and Heavy!” Just stay at home base, and learn to always see good in yourself and your situation; and play down and even ridicule other people’s Matzav! לְאַהֲבָּה אֶּת 'האֱלהֶּיךָ ל ו “Loving Hashem” means being happy with your exact situation, with all its minute details! If you are heavy (like the Steipler and R’ Chaim Shmuelevitz Zatzal) be happy. “I love being big and heavy!”
And if you are tall, you must say all day long: “I love being a tall type”. The same for a “short” and “skinny” and “red” and “blonde”, or a quick type, a quiet type, a bold type, and a fearsome type, etc. Nevuchadnetzar was very short (Medrash) and thick like a ball, and he had a shrill voice like a chirping bird. (Medrash).
He looked at himself like he was a: שָּׁ פָּ ל בָּ אַ נָּ שִּׁ ים (lower than everyone else), and said: “This is a king??” (Medrash). This is the very person who destroyed the Bais Hamikdash, because being dissatisfied with the way Hashem made you, and having self-hatred, is the first step to Churban! And being Sameach B'chelko means the true life. It says: וּבָּחַרְ תָּּ בַחַיִּּים נצבים ל יט Chose life! Be happy with the basic being alive!
