Having received a rotten lemon in a grocery order sent to me, my immediate reaction was to complain. But, I was quickly stopped by the following thoughts coming to mind, which apply what I've learned from studying Kabbalah:
Everything I receive is exactly what the Creator wants me to receive, so there is no room for complaining, but only gratitude; for the Creator only gives what He knows is best. I received everything I was to receive in my grocery order; nothing more, nothing less, and in the condition I was to receive the items.
What about "warning" people with my (negative) opinion/experience about something?
Each person is given their own experience with everything in life, so I have no business leaving negative comments, because others will have their own positive or negative experience, as per the will from Above. Thus exits being opinionated!
No more giving in to the desire to "warn" people or give my (negative) opinion or comments; unless I feel "forced" to by the Upper Force. (I believe this "force" would come if a person is in a life threatening situation.)
I find it humorous that the Creator would teach me this lesson through a (rotten) lemon. Isn't it true that when we get something that doesn't work right, we say, "I got a lemon"?
Something To Consider:
If everyone started keeping their negative opinions and comments to themselves, thus leaving room for every other person to have their own life experience, not having been influenced by someone else's experience, I believe it would help to change our environment. Maybe people wouldn't hate so much, because they'd be forming their own thoughts about situations?
