"Respect for Variety vs detecting a valid threat" : Av The Tikkun of Hearing part 2

Excerpt from the 12 Dimensions of Israel Nechama Sarah Nadborny:


     Sorting out both the inner and the outer voices is not always easy.  Truth is a very quiet whisper which sounds forth from the deepest recesses of the soul, beyond the individual, where all souls are linked together.  It is the song of ultimate love and compassion for everyone and everything, even for that which must be destroyed for the sake of the ultimate good....
    When passions for truth are not maturely channeled through a purely altruistic path they can trun into conflict and hatred for another as well as self-hatred.  Similarly, the destruction of both Temples during this month was due to causeless hatred.  Our inherited noble energy backfired.  As a result, we were cast into exile which still engulfs us.  One of the symptoms of the exile is a lack of tolerance and respect for another whose soul was created to reveal divinity in a unique way whether they be from another tribe in Israel or another nation.
   In other words, this causeless hatred is the unrectified passion for justice and truth.  Perhaps we may despise another in our hearts because we feel that their life-expression is not synchronized with our perceptions of Eternity.  This disrespect is a result of our lack of humility and perception that we are all facets of one soul.  We need to fine tune our hearing of the twelve main melodies comprising one grand symphony.  From this point we may discriminate which tunes are purely cacophonous and must therefore be challenged.  
     Because of the dangers of Shimon's temprement, his tribe was particularly assigned to the role of elementary school teachers.  dealing with the unrefined emotions of the child gave the teachers of Shimon perspective on their own passionate tendencies and their negative repercussions.  Thus while being equipped to best understand and relate to the children, he was able to learn form them
