There is so much semantics involved in some of these answers that points, whether right or wrong, seem to be fetting lost. For instance, and i will use a totally random topic for the sake of neutralty, CS says we should all demand chcolate cake for dessert, and when someone redponds that we should ask not demand she replied, “So you think chocolate cake is bad? So you think i dont want you to have it?”
The fact that people say we should daven for moshiach instead of demanding it is NOT the same as saying we don’t think it’s a good thing. And to compare demanding an opportunity to fulfill a mitzva with a demand for moshiach is apples and oranges. Thats like demanding a diploma instead of taking classes because the diploma makes your parents prpud. No, *earning and deserving* the diploma makes your parents proud. Not just the receipt.
You dont have to agree with each other, but at least answer the arguments according to what is being argued.
