Chelek Chof Ches (p.157) teaches about “Not Normal Love” that can transform even “Not Normal Hatred.” With true deep love, even hatred can be a force that leads to good. Our forefathers paved the way, showing that transformation is always possible and we are never without hope.

"Thought? What is truly the essence of a person? Sicha is based on the posuk ""Ki HaAdam Eitz HaSadeh"" A man IS a tree of the field. The tree is connected to its root, our middos are constantly connected to essence of our nefesh. When is our learning complete? When it affects and changes our middos. So, we have work to do :"

Chelek Chof Tes pg 79

When NOT doing the mitzvah is the best thing to do.
