Was reading the GYE book today, and saw a piece that I really liked:

The pain we feel when not looking is not really our pain at all. It is the pain of the Yetzer Hara in his "death throes". He is screaming that we are hitting him hard. So we can actually enjoy the pain! We are feeling the pain of our enemy as he gets weaker!


Figured I'd share it here (this counts as my requirement of logging on today, even if I don't include a smilie, right?  ).

Isn't there a difference between pain and discomfort?

If we feel pained when not looking, is that a good sign? idk

the pain of delayed gratification is good - short term pain, long term good; lusting involved short term pleasure and creates long term pain.

the pain of working out, of struggling with a difficult sugya, of cleaning for Pesach can bring joy
the pain of not looking can bring on joy a moment later when thinking of the nachas Hashem has from it - I heard recently the importance of appreciating the siyata dishmaya every time you accomplish something spiritually - as opposed to thinking about what a great tzaddik I am

(just woke up, hope this is coherent)
