ENDLESS TORTURE

[33b middle] R’ Sama & R’ Asi: Endless torture is even worse than death.

D-E-ep Thoughts: When the end is near (for good or bad) the journey is much more bearable. When we do not know how long a process will take, each moment may become more painstakingly torturous. Instead of looking towards the futures and the “what ifs” in life, we must learn to take advantage of and live in the moment. G-d always knows what is best for us and cares for us more than any mother or father could ever love their own children. We must accept that no matter what situation we are currently in, we should never think ‘the grass is greener on the other side,’ and happily make the most of what we are given.
