Who are we? We are human now with options to follow Jewish mitzvoth, to daven the Jewish prayerbook, to choose music that brings us peace, to thrive in silence and to study Torah. To follow our heroes in the Torah, to do as they did. To get to know what to do when, how to feel according to how our ancestors felt in different times in past history, to recreate the wheel as we have it, not to invent an entirely new wheel. To write our own Torah. To let others know what happened and how you survived, so they can know how they can survive and hurdle the same obstacle.
Is it okay to say we will be dust and take nothing with us when we die? Is this wisdom, not to flair arrogance, but to prepare people for their eternal future. When can we change the world if all we will be is dust? We can change it now, today, and tomorrow, past present future. We need to constantly choose life, and to choose it so we can change it for those who ail and need our help. If we write our own Torah, can this Torah change someone's life? They must want life over death, and we can give them a reason to live. To have a love affair with God and to fear God, these being the reasons to live.
To live for our parents who are not alive. To be here for them, to feel goodness, righteousness, lovingkindness, and mercy, in their place, for our parent(s) who are not with us anymore. This is the reason we were given birth.
