Live Today

"A well-known humorist once observed, "There are two  kinds of people: those who keep diaries and those who do not.  The former write of things they hope to do or imagine they have done; the latter are too busy living."  - Rabbi Hillel Silverman While Silverman wrote this many decades ago it is more apropos of today's environment with numerous v internet platforms where people monitor, document and describe their every move. Live today.

A Contemporary Psalm 23

The TV is my shepherd My spiritual growth shall want. It maketh me to sit down And do nothing for His name’s sake, Because it requireth all my leisure time. It keepeth me from doing my mitzvoth Because it presenteth so many good shows I must see. It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the world And keepeth me from study. It leadeth me in paths of failing to be   at shul And useless to humanity. Yes, though I live to 120 I shall keep viewing my tv as long as it will work, For it is my closest companion. It presenteth entertainment before me And keepeth me from doing important things with my family. It fills my head with oil While my mug of beer overflowed. Surely no good thing will come of my life Because of so many wasted hours. And I shall dwell in my remorse And bitter memories forever.   - Anonymous
