The facts don\u2019t change, but the way we perceive them does. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph had been sold into slavery by his brothers. He had lost his freedom for thirteen years, and been separated from his family for twenty-two years. It would be understandable if he felt toward his brothers resentment and a desire for revenge. Yet he rose above such feelings, and did so precisely by shifting his experiences into a different frame. He says:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God sent me<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before you to preserve life \u2026 <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God sent me<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. So <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it was not you who sent me here, but God<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Genesis.45.4-8?lang=he-en\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gen. 45:4-8<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Joseph had reframed his entire past. He no longer saw himself as a man wronged by his brothers. He had come to see himself as a man charged with a life-saving mission by God. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This single act of reframing allowed Joseph to live without a burning sense of anger and injustice. It transformed the negative energies of feelings about the past into focused attention to the future. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whatever situation we are in, by reframing it we can change our entire response, giving us the strength to survive, the courage to persist, and the resilience to emerge, on the far side of darkness, into the light of a new and better day.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":54853,"id":54853,"title":"jo24-frame
