No matter what we do, see, feel or hear nothing will compare to their vision. We can own the greatest tower, climb the largest mountain or taste the rarest fruit but what they absorbed is still beyond our scope. As the power of hearing the word of G-D as was witnessed by millions during the giving of Ten Commandments just can’t be beat and at the same time leaves our ancestors at a quandary while we easily live on. For once the greatest knowledge is absorbed what else is there to shoot for? They witnessed the ultimate while we witness bits and pieces along our path of life.
FOOTNOTE- In other words sometimes the little bits may never fully fill the circle but keep us drawing.
