When you feel that you need something in order to feel comfortable but you don't have that - we call that a צרה, you're constricted, restrained. And that causes a person to become depressed - בעצבות. And then people wait for years and they try to change their situation around them, and they say ‘I'm going to this and that and only then am I going to be happy.’ Reb Nosson of Breslev teaches that at the end of the day all צרות are only here because the divine energy - Hashem's presence in the world - isn't felt. And that's the biggest צרה - the biggest גלות. And when you experience joy within yourself, knowing that whatever is happening to you is in order to bring you to that place where the hand fits into the glove, and things fit and are comfortable with themselves, so then you're releasing and redeeming that G-dly energy. And every time you experience joy regardless of what's going on, then you are מתקן the צרה, you are מתקן the גלות. You tuned into the divine joy that surrounds and permeates the world, and then there is no reason anymore for צרה, there's no reason anymore for that constriction because you got the message of what it was trying to get you to. Let's thank Hashem even when we're rejected and even when we're in a place of pain.
