Laskern
“Chanoch was taken away from this world because he did not want to mix with people. Hashem does not need malochim in this world. We need a yetzer horah who encourages us to do bad but we refuse it and do good.
It says שחורה אני ונאוה I can be black by doing bad but if I am able to avoid it, I become beautiful. A tzadik is one who has a yetzer horah but it is able to avoid following him.”
Laskern I am continuously impressed by your knowledge of a wide range of Torah sources. To understand what I am saying correctly I would suggest you check up Tanya, likutei amarim perek 27. You will find there that there are two types of avoda Hashem enjoys: struggling and overcoming our yetzer hara (as you said) AND the avoda of tzaddikim which is to transform the bad altogether from bad to good without grappling with it.
