It is the greatest of struggles, but one who makes peace between his ego and his mission in life, he can make peace between the world and its purpose of creation.
Between woman and man.
Between earth and heaven.

Peace and Peacemakers Peace is the greatest struggle and the most rewarding. If we all become peacemakers the world will become what G-d ment it to be. Heaven that is touchable. Reply

Ego and mission in life. I would like an example of making peace between the Ego and mission in life. What is one's mission? I live each day for itself and try to cope with with what I have to do. Itry to do things positively and happily. Is this a mission? Reply

Is it a side-effect?
If I can make peace between my ego and my mission in life,
are all those wonderful things side-effects of my making peace within myself?
The things I do - living so far away from any Jew - can really impact things far away and far above me?
If yes, it is a wonderful thought that makes me really hold on my breath.

for is it a side effect yes you are not dispensable or disposable. Everyone counts and every jew has an unquatified effect on people from the other side of the world. yes, you can move mountains just by being a believing Jew!!
