Knowing God is Above




One who performs the mitzvot from fear and love of God and because one is submissive to the mitzvot as described by the rabbis as one who occupies oneself with the Torah for its own sake and consequently is ashamed to do any unbecoming thing in the presence of God.  In other words, fear of God instills I humans a sense of bushah, shame, and this prevents sinning.” –Joseph Albo

Just the knowledge of God alone is enough to make us become better human beings.

  “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.
