Innocent Vs. Deep

We heard it all already. We know that someone who sins and returns to Hashem is greater the Tzadik who never sinned. We heard the explanation that a relationship that suffers a setback and then overcomes the obstacle is deeper, more profound and more passionate then a relationship that was never tested.

We said it so many times we now look down at the relationship that never suffered a fight. We can’t figure out why anybody would want to be a Tzaidk – the boring relationship without any bumps.  

What we are missing is innocence.

Yes, a couple who learned to dig dipper to overcome the fight indeed have a deeper relationship. But the Tzadik, is like the newlyweds who’s relationship is innocent. Who know nothing other then love for each other, who cannot fathom any weakening of their love.  

We start out with an innocent and fragile love. Shattering it is a tragedy. Period. Yet Hashen, in his kindness, shows us how to make the best of a tragedy and discover the deep love that the newlyweds cannot experience.
