In today’s Torah reading there is the famous prophecy of Billam – one of his words are, God sees no sins or faults in Jacob – does God not see everything? – however there are three types of eyes: the first born in a secure environment hence filled with love can see nothing but – those encountering wanton evil, hence fearing recurrence become obsessed ( for fear hijacks the brain to focus on it, much as pain, and in this state all we see is what we fear) now as man is naturally jealous of the good another has, if we believe we are no less entitled, hence our jealousy which is pure evil ( for it is the desire to annihilate the joy in another – which is behind terrorism, bullying, anti semitism, anti pretty much anything) creates ” logical reasons” justifying abuse- though of-course anyone abusing would consider it wrong if someone abused THEM, for the same justifications.- finally the most important grand finale is the ability to simultaneously be able to love and judge – this is when we overcome fear and choose to love and hence not being naive nor timid, we are able to simultaneously as a parent to a child love and judge/ educate
