Decisions


There is no such thing as an easy decision. G-d put you on this earth to make choices and it's going to be hard.

A real choice is when both paths appear attractive. Only by choosing to look deeper can you find which path leads to life.

That is the free choice we have: To look deeper and deeper each time.

free will again, asking for help
If you don´t really know what to do, read from the Sages, they prepared the way for you, they looked deeper for you. And then take your decisions, keep attached to your principles.

I love to give advice, but I know that I am not one of the Sages, I just want to share my impressions with others and doing so, allow other to give me some more insight. I think this is a good measure.

We are a grownup, perhaps not yet a mature race, but yes, more commitment is expected from us today. We don´t need to see with open eyes everyday wonders or miracles, like those happened in Sinai, to take decisions leading to life in present time. It is expected from us to act accordingly to faith. The Sages already told this many times.

To ask for guidance is a step. To take a little more time, needed to make a decision, is good. That works for me.
