As discussed in the video: ‘The nature of ‘good’ is to bestow good’ In my understanding good seems to be a physical construct. We can only say God is good because He created the concept of good. God is just God. Does good exist as a creation of God?. I.e. if we weren’t created God would just be God (whatever that is). I.e God is a supreme being / the only thing that is. How can we discuss the nature of God as being inherently ‘good’ if good can only be understood in physical terms . I can’t wrap my head around this one. Moreover, we can only appreciate things that we earn (לפום צערא אגרא). Yet why didn’t God simply create a system without that caveat ? He is God. He could have created the system without that feature I.e. where the ultimate bliss is just receiving good without effort

  Disregard the last part of my question. This last part was addressed in the video by the Rebbe on י׳א תמוז ( happens to be my birthday) The first part of the question still would be nice for some clarification

    I apologize. I jumped the gun. Reb YY addresses ALL the aforementioned questions. I should've watched until the end prior to asking
