ames
we are in Galus
all of us, to one extent or another absorb the values of the nations, it is almost impossible to avoid it to some degree, and it is extremely difficult to realize that our minds which we hold to be belonging to us and no one else, are injected with the new york times, radio, bus posters, magazines, radio, conversation. we breathe the air of the nations, we are grain blowing in their wind. we think our values are our own BUT THEY’RE NOT. only the Torah, only the Chachochim can show us the Emes.
this is more so in our generation than ever before, the darkness (the illusory nature of truth) is greater than ever before, in these days before Moshach.
and the job of our generation is to cling to Emunah, to Emes, as much as possible. to be willing to give up our worshipped but defective minds, to the Torah, the biggest sacrifice one can make, which is Naaseh v Nishmah, to give up our minds for Hashem, in the generation that it is the most difficult to do so.
how fortunate we are to live in this terrible time. how fortunate is one such as you ames who is willing to change to come closer to the Truth.
and thank you for telling me i am not completely wasting my time here
