To give a metaphor: If the machine generating the light is working 
improperly, the light could be dangerous and it needs to be sent out for 
repair.

Without getting into the question of how the machine broke down (God 
directing or us choosing to break it), it is clear that if we aren't 
doing the job, a tikkun is required
