even though its bad, it means its good

When you try and think about Bnei Yisrael, the whole Bnei Yisrael, (as much as one can manage) each and every individual, that's a lot of people. It can be saddening to think that most of those people are sad, dejected, bored, aimless, or outright depressed.

To this I offer a very simple thought to make you a little happier: 

Nobody's yetzer hara is depressed, sad, or upset. The yetzer hara doesn't really have that capacity. Which means, that every Jew out there who is sad, that very sadness is an expression of their neshama-eloki their Godly soul.

In simpler terms, it's only because of their tremendous spiritual level that they are so low.
