An Old-Time Tale

The sages have said, “Anyone that is greater than his fellow, his evil inclination is also greater than his.” Meaning that each person receives his evil inclination according to his own strength, and the inclination of a small person is not similar to the inclination of a big person. Likewise, the inclination of a child is in proportion to his strength and grows together with him.

In light of this, it is clear that every person has the ability to overcome his inclination because he is only given that which he can withstand and endure.

B’Hatzlacha to all of us in the war against the evil inclination!
