He elaborated: “Many people want things in life – and they don’t get them. And they’re not willing to live with that. A person tries a business venture – God doesn’t grant him success, and he refuses to accept it.”
Rabbi Pinto also spoke about interpersonal dynamics: “People argue. Someone holds a different opinion than yours – and you’re not willing to accept it. Something didn’t go your way – and you won’t even consider it, let alone accept it.”
According to him, this mindset reflects emotional immaturity: “God says – learn. There are things in life you simply can’t achieve. Not everything you want – you’ll succeed in. It won’t always go the way you planned.”
He concluded: “Learn to handle things you can’t attain. Learn to accept that some things are beyond your power and capability. Learn to accept that.”
