Middot – character traits – are at the core of our moral and religious life.
As the Vilna Gaon writes, “For it is your life: For a person is alive only in order to break a [negative] character trait that he has not broken until now. Therefore one should always strengthen one’s self; for if he does not strengthen himself, why is he alive?” And as the Baal Shem Tov also said, quoting Rav Saadia Gaon, “For the main purpose of man’s creation in this world is to break his bad character traits." Improving our character means making ourselves more G-dlike – closer to G-d – while at the same time enriching our relationships.

I put my ATS username and it wouldn't do anything as well, except it made a space and put -- i . Thats all. This web bot program doesn't want to touch me with a 10 meter cattle prod. I wonder if it has to do with my Air Force/ufo background, which was a long time ago, though. (Long unbelievable story.) Otherwise, what else could it be.

The answer you got makes sense. Many Christians, such as Steve Quayle, who study the whole fallen angel and demon phenomenon say that those two entities are NOT one and the same.
