One day a visitor came to the rabbi and began to complain:
- Rebbe, everything is so bad for me, so bad! I lost my job, my wife is sick, my daughter can’t get married, my son doesn’t want to study... Rebbe, tell me, maybe you know what I should do? “Yes, yes, there is one ancient remedy,” answered the rabbi. — You need to take a lot of pieces of paper, write on them: “And this will all pass,” and place them in all the rooms.
The puzzled man thanked him and left.
A couple of years later the same person returns and thanks:
“Rebbe, how grateful I am to you, how grateful I am, there are simply no words!” I found an excellent job, my wife recovered, my daughter got married, my son finished his studies and got a job at a company... Everything is just great! Thank you very much! Yes, I just wanted to ask: can those pieces of paper that I laid out in the apartment be put away already?
- Why clean up? - the rabbi was surprised. - Let them lie down for now...
