Underrated Earth - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Souls wait up in heaven for thousands of years, longing for their moment upon this earth to do another soul a favor.

Angels burn with jealousy each time a human being turns himself around and creates beauty in this world.

Heaven is nice, but on the best things, earth has exclusive rights.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

Underrated Earth

Where do we find this information about the angels being jealous of souls?

How do we know about this issue? Have anybody being in Heavens and come back to tell?

Would G-d Almighty gossip about the issues going on in Heavens or any angel for that matter? Please acknowledge. Thanks

Dedicated to Chassidic Earth

This is dedicated to a Chassid Rabbi who was nice enough to set the story straight for me recently about Chassid and Chassic Rabbis and where they stand. And I am so very lucky to have that response from him. I will not mention his name-He is a very fine Rabbi for being that honest with me.
This is a series of jokes about the good earth?-No! But I know other kinds of Jews do that.Prresupposing? Maybe....I'll go on if I may..The good earth is made up of things only in our environment such as trees and birds -well no it also has bad influences such as bombs that kill off the trees and the birs and deer and other animals of the forest etc. so how do we deal with that? By picking up a gun? No...Actually I believe we should be delegating and in discussion about it-see? Those other kinds of Jews aren't that bad.

... and maybe ae are jealous of angels?

Angels burn with jealousy... and human beeing too(!) - I am sorry for speakinf "badly" about ourselves, but it's a matter of psychologic "economy" that we don't even know about our burning jealousy because we usually create some brave ideologies around that all, to protect ourselves from feeling guilty and for helping to feel pride. Maybe that's ourselves to be jealous of angels?
