If you recognize the truth of the Torah, you know that it really is not a choice. You are Hashem’s creation, His slave. You owe Him your existence, and He demands your compliance with His Law.
In that case, you do have a choice of non-compliance. He may eliminate your existence, or punish, but the choice is still open. Besides, God does not expect the individual to be a mindless automaton, so I don’t really understand what you mean.
I disagree with GAW. The fact that it is ???? ????? is not a ???? that it is a good thing and therefore we should do it, it is a ???? in itself for us to do it.
I agree as well. See below.
We might finally be getting somewhere. But why should you care about G-d’s higher purpose?
Two separate questions.
1: We were put here to serve the RBSO, and therefore it is the fulfillment of our purpose to do so. It should be axiomatic that a thinking being wishes to fulfill its purpose.
2: How that service relates back to other items or purposes or what value our purpose has is once again in His realm and not really our concern.
