Hi,
"Those who are physically ill taste the bitter as sweet
and the sweet as bitter. Some ill people desire and long for inedible foods,
like dust and charcoal, and despise good foods like bread and meat, all
according to the particular illness. So, too, people whose spirits are ill
desire and love bad traits, and despise the good path and are too lazy to
follow it, and they find it very heavy, due to their illness…
"They should go to
sages who are healers of spirits, and they will heal their illness by teaching
them good traits, until they bring them back to the good path…"
(Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Hilchot Deiot 2:1)
המצפה לישועה,
Mordechai
