Tsuris as the fools discontent

There exists in the Jewish world a concept called Tsuris.   This is when everything seems to be going wrong in your life.  It is considered by many to be a trepidition and a horror.
I will demonstrate to you that nothing could be further from the reality of any situation.
Tsuris is considered a punishment from our Creator.
True there is misfortune and bad outcomes in life, but tsuris is almost like a punishment and a horrible terrible situation that you just "didn't deserve".  You were a good person, you did everything with goodness in your thoughts and you always were a responsible person.
Then why did everything start to go wrong?
I will tell you this.  I do know for the facts that always exist that there is a God in this Universe and that God is a very sensitive and considerate and loving God.
God does not want anyone to suffer without any injustice.
Injustice is what God hates.
Then why does God give us tsuris... the horrible plague of pain, trouble and insanity that might exist to knock us all off the mission that we really know is our mission in life.
The reason is this:
You are not on your mission.
You are on the mission you have chosen for yourself that is not the mission that your Creator has chosen for you in your designs as God has designed you to be.
To be given tsuris is a great blessing if you understand its true purpose.
Tsuris is a trouble that leads you into other ways of thought, consideration, concern and priority.
It changes the course of history.
You may leave your job, your passions, your perceived contentment and your times of ease.
This is the reason.
The tsuris is a guide.  This guide is to guide you along your spiritual pathway onto other and more intelligent and more relevant productive ways of life.  You must look at your tsuris and ask yourself why did my God design me to suffer this way and what am I really designed to be doing on this planet.
