9. Fear of Losing Out

As much as we all really want Moshiach, we also have many hidden fears of Moshiach's times. 
Perhaps one of the greatest ones is that we somehow imagine we're going to lose out on some of the wonderful pleasures of this world. After all, Hashem created a beautiful world, and even in Golus there are so many great experiences for us to enjoy! 
Not only that, but because everything in Golus is a mixture of good and bad, there is even a pleasure, beauty, or excitement in every painful experience, in every challenge, and also in every sin. 
It's hard to imagine life without them.
But that's the amazing miracle of Moshiach; That all the good will be completely separated from the bad, and only the bad with disappear. Every joy will then be 100% pure with no negative side effects! And we will still get to enjoy every silver lining but without the dark grey clouds. 
There is nothing at all that we will miss from our Golus days except the chance to *choose* HaShem and do what's right, even when it's really hard.
