A garment can always be removed
מה תשתוחחי נפשי ותהמי עלי
Why are you downcast my soul, and why are you
bewildered on my account? (Tehillim 42:6)
Anytime I feel a wave of depression or
sadness wash over me, I must remember that my essence is pure; Hashem created
it and placed it within me. If I regard something about myself as “bad”, I must
remind myself that it is only a garment that I can still remove from over me. Nothing that I do can tarnish the purity of my soul.

Unfortunately, those waves of sadness can sometimes strike us from outside our own framework, as when we receive news that the israeli administration succumbs to leftists' demands or when our enemies bring harm upon us.
Nice blog!
