There is no conundrum.
An article in The Jerusalem Post:
My comment:
We see conundrums only when we continue to look at the world through instinctive, very narrow, 100% subjective, self-serving, and self-justifying calculations.
This is what we got used to through the so-called “Western worldview,” where we want what we want and want to have it here and now, regardless of the consequences.
We have over 100 hostages suffering under terrible torture. We want them back now, regardless of the costs. We do not care if the deal means losing the war now and having many more hostages and worse existential danger later — later, meaning in a few weeks, months, and years.
We want Netanyahu gone, the present government gone, we want the Haredim — and anybody who thinks differently — silenced, we want to align ourselves with the prevalent liberal ideology and propaganda of the Western world, we want to be the “good guys” in the eyes of the “world.”
We do not know what comes next, and we do not care. We do not care if there is an actual order to the world, we do not care if there is a plan we could learn and follow, and we do not care if we can live in a different way, above and against our inherently selfish, egotistic, and subjective calculations.
We do not care if this Nation truly has a special role and a positive example to show in this world through “supernatural” — above instinctive nature — unity and mutual guarantee.
We just want what we want right now and at any cost!
The Jewish Nation has a method to learn how to approach life differently.
