Show Notes
Our soul, in G-d's image, possesses 10 attributes, including 6 emotional attributes. The seventh, Malchus, is not included in this count. These emanate from G-d's six traits. Because the attribute of chesed is unlimited, it desires to benefit even someone who lacks nothing. The attribute of rachamim, by contrast, being also compounded of gevurah, will not seek to diffuse indiscriminately. At the same time, rachamim pleads the cause of any individual who is in a pitiable state, however unworthy he may be.
