Page 23 keyword spirituality the divine attribute of EL teaches us that the precise opposite is true. Strength manifests itself through the attribute of kindness, through compassion. God's judgment is simple; requires no proactive effort on his part, but rather only that he allow things to run their natural course. Chesed does not result from being overcome by an emotion; it is rather the overcoming of the attribute of din. Having pity and tales recognizing what is just, but acting differently - not because of fear or weakness or because one does not have the strength to file strict justice, but rather because one has the strength to act kindly. An act of kindness only fulfills the dictate of the halacta bedrochive walking in God's ways, if it involves a clear decision to suspend or restrain one's truth - that of justice - in the face of another that of compassion.
