But you must battle these thoughts, and to work with all your might to bentch this person, to mouth a tefillah on his behalf. Fight your yetzer hara until you truly wish for the good for your fellow. Do favors for him, for this will influence your attitude—and through this you will draw down the yeshuah for yourself.”
