Thank you so much Rabbi for a beautiful positive message in the end. May positivity surround everyone in the would and all the souls are healed from jealousy and harsh judgement of HaShem.

Much thanks, Rabbi. I sense this negativity in American politics, today.
How can so many people seem to be cursing our leaders, over and over?

Sounds like you are being punished for someone else's jealousy.

Thank you for explaining this hard to understand concept.

What if you were a child a sweet innocent child with no intention or a heart for evil. This five year old child finds herself being mocked, laughed at, and most of all intensely Stared at with an unrelenting gaze. This followed her all through her life, the person who did this offense was some one she knew and loved and to this day on occasion does the same thing.
