Hi Tzaddik!! Yeah, you with the glasses!!
Mazal tov on your 18 days! L'CHAIM!! It's a NEW life!!
I wish with all my heart that after 120, your glasses can be buried next to you as testimony to your integrity in shemiras eiynayim. I'm hoping I will be able to do that with my computer.
Here's a thought that could help in this struggle.
Tischadeish on your new glasses!
WHAT?
Yeah, you heard me. Why do we say Tischadeish, what does it mean? Are we just saying MAZAL TOV, YOU GOT SOMETHING NEW! Well, THAT's silly. You already know it's new! And since when do Berachos from Klal Yisroel really care about gashmiyus?
My answer is that TISCHADEISH is the same conjugation (see I learned SOMETHING in high school) as TISGADAL V'TISKADEISH we'll say in the Kedusha of Shachris on Shabbos. There it means, speaking of Hashem, "May Your Name BECOME magnified and may You BE SANCTIFIED in this world..." So TISCHADEISH is a beracha that means "MAY YOU BECOME RENEWED!"
When we get something new that is choshuv to us, it is a GIFT from Hashem, albeit gashmiyus, which gives us joy. We can take that joy, realize from it how much Hashem loves us, how much Hashem always GIVES to us, and gather NEW ENERGY and strength thru HAKARAS HATOV to serve Him better. So NOW we can USE this NEW GASHMIYUS to have an ALIYA B'RUCHNIYOS in avodas Hashem, to serve Him with RENEWED VIGOR and excitement!
So my beracha to you, TR, is that you use these new glasses as a stepping stone to BECOME RENEWED!
TISCHADEISH!!
