Short thought on Parshas Noach: Noach was childless for until age 500. Chazal say the reason is because if his children were righteous and over age 100 they would all need their own teivos, requiring extra work. The question is why couldn’t Noach just invite them to his own teiva.

The answer is that after a person is an adult (today 20, then 100) they need to create their own tevah, theirown universe, based on their own recognition, and their own kochos hanefesh.

Until then, to the contrary, they must remain bottul to that of their Mesora.

Doing things differently can be devastating. For the latter they will create only an immature world for themselves, and the former will never discover the potential life that has been uniquely destined for them.
