In truth, there are really only three ways everyone, past, present and future has and will live, for there are no others options: the first is try to get away with what you can (this is how most non-civilized cultures behave – it is only the fear of the chief or some other entity that stops them from literally eating each other alive) the next is cultural, so people from cultures, try to maintain their cultural integrity (in truth, this is based on fear of shame and desire for pride) and then there is the precious few, like Abraham, the Rebbe and maybe but maybe, you too, who break out of the instinctual compulsion and the ego’s desires and sublimate their reality for the truth!
