Self-awareness

Hi Rabbi,
Many people are given self-awareness so we have some idea of our strengths and weaknesses and we can usually identify when we fall and what traits we have to fix in ourselves. I’ve noticed that some people seemingly lack any amount of self awareness. They are open about how they have nothing to work on, and they genuinely act as though they have zero sense of what they are doing wrong every day and how their actions impact those around them…. How does Gd expect those people to ever work on their flaws? Are they possibly exempt? And if they are not exempt, it seems unfair to them that they have no idea what to do. It’s not their fault they were created with no self awareness…
Thanks for clarifying!




Segulot for becoming pregnant:

  • First and foremost, one should be careful to practice the laws of family purity (Taharat Hamishpacha) accurately, including a review of the halachot.

  • Married women should cover their hair with a head covering such as a scarf or a hat, or ideally, a wig, according to Chabad custom.

  • In addition to the above, look back and try to remember if you offended anyone when you were dating, and if you did, appease him and ask for forgiveness.

  • Invite guests to your home.

  • Study Chassidus

  • Support places of Torah learning.

  • On the practical level, it would be advisable to get expert medical counseling and support in accordance with Jewish law from an organization that deals with this issue specifically, such as Machon Puah.
