Choose life!
It is said by the sages: “Choose life!”, and this means that a person chooses himself. The sages say that a person is already facing the best part. And if so, then there is no longer a choice?A choice can only be made when two possibilities exist. It would seem that this is how it should be: go right or left, use this or that opportunity. That is, to choose one of the two possibilities that appear before a person. But between what two states, or data, or forces, does he lie when he makes his choice?
The second force that hinders him, which is against it, which gives him the opportunity to choose, is the force of the egoistic nature. It always appears internal resistance. And then in every appeal, in every question, in every thought and desire, he is between two forces: in the realization of good or evil.We are always between two things: good and bad, a bad thought (for the sake of receiving), and a good thought (for the sake of giving). If only we could reach a state where we could, in every situation, in any place, disconnect from the power of the ego, rise above it, strive for goodness (at least with the mind, if not with the heart) - our choice and our progress depend on this.
