KIDDUSH LEVANAH קִדּוּשׁ לְבָנָה :

– PRAYER OF CONCESSION ON LAST QUARTER MOON

  1. THE PROFIT OF A LAND (continuation)
    I heard on Tevet 1942

Gain and loss are measured according to the pleasure and
the suffering. One stays away from something that causes one
suffering, and hates it. The measure of the distance depends on
the measure of the suffering, since it is human nature to escape
from suffering. Hence, one depends on the other, meaning to
the extent of the suffering, one exerts and does all kinds of
deeds so as to stay away from it. In other words, the torments
cause hate for the thing that induces torments, and to that
extent one stays far from it.
