Aug 8, 2012 at 23:01 comment added Shemmy The phrases "gone all woe-is-me" and "self-sorry" feel a little bit presumptive, judgemental, and globalizing to me and makes me wonder if there is a sub-text or agenda to the original question. Of course, English isn't my strongest suite, so perhaps I'm sensing something that isn't there. If the question is about the spiritual value of intropsection on events of personal tragedy, why, then, the need to use such disparaging phrases in describing the autobiographical accounts of these two rabbis?

Aug 8, 2012 at 20:50 comment added Avrohom Yitzchok I have edited the question (a) to reduce the "open-ended" nature of it and (b) because I can suggest an answer to the more narrow question.
