Joseph's brothers were astonished -- their situation had changed from one minute to the next, and they did not anticipate the surprise waiting for them.
 
 
 
And so it is in truth: in one moment one goes from peace to war, from health to sickness, from wealth to poverty and from life to death.  This is the nature of this world, and worthwhile remembering.
 
 
 
The important thing is not the actual situation the person is in, but the manner in which he deals with his situation.  Does he sigh and give up, or yell and fight?  Does he blame everyone else, or reflect on his own deeds?
 
  
Joseph's brothers accepted the revolution in their lives with equanimity: '''And he kissed all his brethren, and wept upon them; and after that his brethren talked with him''' {{hcite|p/pt/pt0145.htm#3|ibid 15}}.  They knew that the suffering they had gone through was deserved, for what they had done to their younger brother.  So too, all of us must examine our deeds when we see massive change in our lives.
