Mishnayot Taanit Rebbe, if many parts of the Talmud extol thanking Hashem for our troubles, why is Mishnayot Taanit as long as it is? It should only cover Yom kippur. Why did the Rabbis envoke all these fast days for "terrible" days in history? Why are there fats fasts for other troubles like no rain and plays and war? Why isn't there a mesechta Todaah (thanking) instead; instructing us to dance and sing whenever something "seemingly bad" is happening?
