Middlepath: Religion is based on the understanding that God created man so that he should grow and reach a higher spiritual level during his life. God didn’t create people to merely serve other people; since if that were the case, He would not have created man altogether and then nobody would need to be taken care of. Yes, God created us with natural feelings to want to give to others, but the reason why God created us with these natural feelings, was in order for us to reach a higher ‘madreiga’/level through this act of helping others. Our natural feelings of wanting to give to others for the sake of others does not run contradictory to our knowledge that we also become elevated through this act of giving to others and serve purpose for our creation. Chaza”l say “Lo Nivra Ha’adam Elu L’Zulaso”.
