Lomed Mkol Adam
The Torah is here to make us aware of our weaknesses in this generation, and in every generation. So much for identifying our weaknesses.
The baalei mussar and chazal understand the sources of these weaknesses better than the therapists understand their ABC’s. So much for understanding the sources of our weaknesses.
Please don’t insult the baalei mussar by insinuating that they meant a therapist when they said chacham.
Don’t forget: Chazal studied the behavior of a human being by reading the Manufacterer’s manual, the Torah. And a manufacturer knows its product best.
Based on that, they wrote the best “self-help” book known to mankind.
