You don’t want to make a scene but really don’t want to speak to that person. It might be that they speak too long and you’ll waste your entire day, that you’re chemistries just don’t mix, or that their is some underlying anger you’ve left behind from your last conversation, so how can you escape? There could be the walk the other way, look down, drop something under you desk, or the old itch all over your face that might come to your rescue.  Yet sometimes those tricks just won’t work because their lingering over your area just a fly that can’t be swatted away. For those times the offensive must be taken.  Make sure you say a big hello as if it was a goodbye and then before they even have a chance to respond make sure that you and they notice that you just don’t have a moment to continue this conversation then leave until the next time …. in hell.

This morning 10 people went to a store for an ordinary day of shopping and their life’s changed forever. For they are now being held hostage by gunman in drama that is being played out on the world’s stage. I can only imagine the fear that is consuming these individuals as all they want is their “ordinary life back”.   It’s weird how one’s ordinary life can change in an instant and how quickly we could want it back.  May G-D help those innocent hostages get back from those arms that have taken them to the loving arms of family and friends.

Some of the most important classes are missed by most of us which  can effect our entire life and the one’s we hold closest. For although parenthood might be thrust on us when we least expect it or planned in advance how to deal with a newborn, adolescent and teenager is something most of us are not fully ready for.  Parenthood itself is a learning experience but some of the spills can be wiped up much faster if we learn in advance various techniques to clean the table in the first place. Classes should be taught in religious institutions for free (sponsored by children’s products) and be meant to provide insight from those with years of experience and knowledge of such subjects.   The older educated generation will provide knowledge that may not be accessible in the books of today and as such help new families build the cohesive loving unit that will be a blessing to the nation and world as a whole.

I wonder how many prophets would be put on anti psychotic drugs and placed in mental hospitals to deal with their “delusions”,  if born today. Would they even be able to speak the words commanded or be called anti….?  Who would be willing to listen to an average “Joe” or “Chaim” who said that a holy spirit entered their body… maybe a good psychiatrist.   We can’t believe everyone who say’s G-D or an angel spoke to them but can we ignore them all?  How to determine that the voice they hear is not something in their own head but from a higher authority instead?  It’s not an easy answer to come to but I think we first have to listen not just to the words but who is saying them, how they are said and if they are based on the Torah/Bible truths we are know are to be true.  99.9 % maybe insane but all you need is .001 to change your life forever.
