138. Exploiting the Darkness
Discuss (5)One who returns from the darkness must bring of it with him and convert it to light. He must exploit his experience to surge higher and higher with greater strength.
Therefore, the one who returns from a distance is greater than the one who was always close. What matters is not so much where you stand, but with what force you are moving in which direction.

Someone who was always close to something can develop an indifference to it, as can happen to those familiar things we may take for granted.
Someone who comes to something from a distance is drawn to it from something other than indifference.
The latter have the momentum of a new found awe and enthusiasm; troubling at times, but ultimately an often positive force.
I trust, Rabbi Freeman, you realize much of what you are implying here.
