211. Two Ones - Daily Dose of Wisdom

In two ways, we are one: in our essence, and in our character.

In our essence, we are all one soul, with one source.

In our character, we are all complementary to each other, none of us complete, each one contributing what the other lacks, each one adding his touch of perfection to his fellow. Like a massive jigsaw puzzle, we fit together to make a single perfect whole.

None of us is perfect without all the rest of us.
And all the rest of us are incomplete when a single individual is missing.

the unhappy puzzle

Sometimes it is unbalanced between people as far as having jobs, or having money.

What can we learn from what is happening in Egypt? Some people felt injustice about how they were treated by a system.

How could we address the root causes of this kind of rebellion now? How could we organize to make a puzzle?

Two Ones

We are all individuals so what comes out of one persons mouth is going to be different than what comes out of the opposite persons mouth. G-d decides who stays with who and who is alone but even the ones that are alone-they are not in isolation there are always people around...there is ancestorship and all kinds of souls here and there and everywhere plus people who are thinking of you- that is always felt. G-d allows us never to feel alone just like G-d allows us to know we are imperfect and that is very important to remember-the balance between what one does for the will of the land plus what the other will do for the will of the land--meaning to work for something real--possibly, common decency or something like that.- Thank you for reading this
