The Human Untied

Tzvi Freeman

No one can predict the tomorrow of a human being.

We move from abject poverty to opulent wealth on a spin of the heels, from apathy to spiritual heights through a sudden flash of inspiration.

We are creatures who know no bounds, with limitless power to be whatever we want to be.

We get stuck—but not from a shortage of power. We are tied down only by our delusions of who we are.

In the mind of the the wise should echo the words of King David "Oh Lord order my steps", in his heart did echo the words of Habakkuk 3:17. When we live according to His purpose for us and we hit those periods of disillusion we feel no less blessed then when we walk on the mountaintops Reply

knots I spend my day being wound around and -yes- spun into a knot-or two or three-and this is an actual acount of how I spend my day...once I am knotted-it is impossible-real impossible...then I begin my day again until the next knot-it's interesting that you should write about this...in the same context as poverty and wealth idea-I feel this knot game is poverty-in the worst way-thank you for writing this- Reply

Thanks Thank you to Tzvi Freeman who captures so many slivers of life with his Daily Dose bits. They often are a highlight of my day. This one reminds me of the idea in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) which basically says 'you can't trust yourself until the day you die'.

People can be all over the map. I am no exception. Sometimes we fall off the face of the world, as it were. Thank G-d we have the wisdom of the Torah to keep us in place.

Thank you Mr. Freeman. Best to you. Reply

Agreed, but when we are in a tight place, how do we untie the knots. Reply
