"I Accept Upon Myself - To Love": The Post Taking the Internet by Storm

A post by a man named Avichai Peretz is currently taking the internet by storm. In the post, he offers a special prayer to Hashem, deciding to "accept upon himself to love."

This is what he writes:

"I wish I could identify a bereaved father. They should have some sort of mark so I can let them go ahead of me in line, know not to honk at them on the road, know that this person has paid the heaviest price so I can live here.

"I wish I could identify soldiers with PTSD. So I know not to startle them, not to complain about my own hardships, not to tell silly army stories around them.

"I wish I could identify those mentally exhausted. Those who life has burdened with a weight they cannot bear, who somehow keep functioning physically but are collapsing inside. I want to be sensitive and empathetic around them, not to show too much confidence and success that might burden them with even more negative feelings that could break them completely.

"I wish I could identify people who have lost trust in others and are constantly suspicious of those around them having bad intentions. Maybe I could behave with such caution that builds their trust in me, showing them I'm here for good.

"I wish I could see into the heart, but I am human, seeing only to the eyes. Every person is a whole world of emotions. Every person has a full story and we walk around like an elephant in a china shop. We walk, scratch, hurt, break into pieces, and there's not much we can do about it. We are not MRI machines. We do not have X-ray vision. We too are vulnerable…

"We can only decide that every evening, before we go to sleep, we forgive anyone who's hurt us and if we all do this - we'll all wake up every morning cleaner, calmer, more desired.

"Master of the Universe,

I forgive and pardon all who angered and hurt me.

Whether accidentally or intentionally.

Whether in speech or in action.

And I accept upon myself - to love," he concludes.
