you must love the abuse

 bochur goes to famous mashgiach and asks can i learn musar with you? mashgiach says, you are only interested in being able to brag how you learned with the mashgiach. weeks later mashgiach says, you said you wanted to learn musar, so we did, and i haven't seen you since.

this is meant as an inspiring story, but i think it's sick. why assume the worst, the bochur is ONLY interested in bragging? then when he doesn't relish the abuse, he's criticized again for not relishing the abuse.

when you start relishing the abuse, that's when your life is over, when these people have turned you out as they say in prison talk. from that point on, you will have no instincts, no logic, and no dignity.
