Parshah teaching: When Bilaam was unsuccessful with cursing the Jews, king Balak took him to a different mountain, where he could see only some - but not all - of the Jewish camp.
Why would that vantage point be more conducive to cursing the Jewish people?
Because when you choose to only see a part of the nation, you can always find faults and be negative. But if you choose to see the Jewish people as a whole, you're sure to see its overall beauty and splendor.
And the same goes with how we choose to view other individuals.
Always take a step back, take in the whole picture, and you'll see goodness and beauty everywhere.
Shabbat Shalom!
