“Blessed is Hashem. Blessed is He. That He gave Torah to His people Israel. The Torah talked about the four sons – one wise, one wicked, one one simple and one that doesn’t know how to ask.”
A person reading the Hagada on Passover will usually ask – who am I out of all these sons? Am I the Wise? The Wicked?
Really each one of us has a trait of each son in us. At times we fall to our temptations – so we have the trait of the wicked son. At time we act with wisdom – thus we are like the wise son. At times we act as the the other two.
So what is the solution? How do we Become more wise and less wicked, less simple and more ethically educated?
There is a concept in Torah Hash-m Makdim Refual LaMaka – Hash-m provides the cure before the illness.
