Defiant Darkness


People ask, "But how could you see so much good in the future when so much evil predominates now —-and it grows day by day?"

But such is the order of things: Darkness was only placed in the world to challenge light. As the light intensifies, the darkness thickens to defy it.

A tautology
Posted: July 19, 2010
By this logic, shouldn't the darkness keep thickening no matter how intense the light? This is a tautology; it just folds in on itself and is gone. Why construct a rationale? -- Do good because it's its own reward. And it might earn you a smile; all the light you'll need.

No truer words were ever spoken. G-d has protected us for thousands of years. He will continue to forever. But, a very big but, we must be deserving of his Blessings. I know my responsibilities, do you know yours?
