The bond was there before eating eating treif on Yom Kippur. If starving yourself and supporting price gouging or improper use of money gets you closer to your creator, I would not stop you. But that attitude, did not get me close to my creator. Kindness, love, these things showed to me by nissim in my life, rebuilt the bond that was taken from me as a child. I learnt how much there is for me, by looking inside for the truth, by feeling what I wanted for myself, understanding that if I don’t like pain, it’s not possible that our creator wants me in pain either. If I want unlimited abundance, no bloodshed, love between everyone, just because I don’t know how to accomplish it, doesn’t mean our creator doesn’t want that for me or us all. I would assume that our creator wants everything like gan eden for everyone. If you assume otherwise, if you think everything from the beginning of time wasn’t a gift, if you think we cannot get even closer and more pleasant than gan eden, then your perception is sad compared to mine.
