“There is an answer for every time and for every situation.  At one time, the answer may be to turn to Torah study, at another to say a prayer or to do a good deed.  At one time it may be necessary to cry and beg and weep before G-d.  At another time to be joyous and glad.  There are times for speaking, other times for silence.  There is also a time when what we need is to turn aside from our service.  For at times, ‘To neglect Torah is to keep it.’ (Talmud Menachot 99a).  There are times when a person has to eat or sleep in order to preserve his body.  At other times he has to converse with other people in order to sharpen his wits, and so on.

Everyone must endure innumerable different ‘times’.” ~ R’ Nachman of Breslov zt”l
