Today I was musing how amazing it is that I have a list of priorities, given to me by the Torah, of how to prioritise where to devote my talents, strengths and energies.this enables me to live a happy conflict free life,
After i duly went through the list in my mind it occurred to me that self wasnt on my list. And that’s when it hit me :
I need a happy healthy self to devote my service to my priorities. But if self or happiness for that matter was on that list, it would be avoda zara. Glad I didn’t buy into the selfy avoda zara of today 🙂
Hope this wasnt self evident to you all, and if it was, I apologise for boring you.
Wishing everyone a freilichen chanuka (especially syag) and good Shabbos!
Why especially Syag but not me?
just a way of being patronizing under the guise of being kind so it will go unnoticed by many or most. A bit passive aggressive and a touch of disingenuity.
CS: Are you in Eretz Yisroel?
I’m not following – Why would taking care of self be considered avoda zara? You just said you need a happy self to be able to fulfill your duties and responsibilities?
Joseph, I noticed last night (in E”Y) that CS posted before the zman in the US, it was about 9:30 E”Y time. She has mentioned in previous posts that she is in a different time zone. But she could be anywhere in Europe, Russia, Africa, Asia, Australia- after all, Chabad is all over the world! Since she has not told us where she lives, she probably wants it to remain obscure.
