It is very common for people to judge their self-worth and personal achievements relative to those of others. In fact, whether we like to admit it or not we may even wish that someone else achieves less so that we can be in a higher position.

The Sages of the Land of Israel (Talmud of the Land of Israel on Sanhedrin 4:14) teach us that when the Scripture states: "When the wicked perish there is joy (רינה)" ? (MISHLE 11:10), the true meaning is not that the people should rejoice when the wicked perished but "When the wicked perish there is calm".

One may be relieved when one’s oppressor is eliminated but should never rejoice. We should never get personal gain when someone else fails even if it is one’s enemy who wishes him harm. A person must measure one’s achievements against absolute standards but never against another’s.

Sometimes We Have No One to Blame But Ourselves & Our Imagination!

Rav Kook explains how fear and one's imagination often cause more damage than the problem itself. In fact, most of our problems we cause to ourselves, and if we made decisions based upon Godly logic and ideals, it would not only grant us a feeling of security, but in fact we would save ourselves from most problems, and surely the inflated or exaggerated ones.

The Neurotics of the Exile Mentality & Fear of Change

Rav Kook ingeniously explains this difficult aggadita about "Sandal Messumar", relating to the problem of "Fear of the Unknown", and the Exile Mentality, where fear becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. This analysis has many current ramifications regarding the individual and Israel's relationship with her enemies, as well as with America, and how to deal with anti-Semitism today in America, Europe and Australia.
