In legend and mysticism there is the belief that the soul is transcendent, immortal. “…and from this we learn that ‘all Israel has a share in the World to Come,’ that is the innermost, untouched core of the soul which is forever pure, that enters the World to Come.” -Rabbi R. J. Soloveitchik
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
