Have you ordered your IPhone X yet?
The day has come. We are spending over a thousand dollars on our cellphones! And it’s well worth it. What these little gadgets can do is truly amazing.
We have advanced so much in so many areas of life over the last decades thanks to science and technology.
We now have the answers to so many questions that our parents could never answer, thanks to advances in all fields of knowledge.
However, there is ONE question that still remains unanswered: And it is the most important question of all:
WHY? - The why of Life. Why are we here. What's the purpose of the life we are given.
As Mark Twain famously said: “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.”
Its important because as Viktor Frankel writes in Man's Search for Meaning: “Those who have a 'why' to life, can bear with almost any 'how'.”
Your IPhone, amazing as it is, cannot answer this one simple question. Nor can science. Science teaches what our world is, it is Religion that teaches us why it is.
There is only one place to go to discover the “why” of life. The Torah. Join a Torah class today :)
Shabbat Shalom
