[Avodah] A Gutte Yahr - A Good Year?

[Zev Sero via Avodah]

See Tanya chapter 26.  There is really no such thing as bad; there is
merely the good that we can see and the good that we can't see.  But
we'd much prefer the kind that we can see, and we ask Hashem to give
us that kind of good rather than the other kind.
