We must understand everything, for without understanding we cannot fix – most of the world’s problems come from well intentioned fools

By zevi770 · April 25, 2016

 

 

When we attempt to understand, there are two ways to approach a problem – the first is detailed, the second, holistic

 

In the former, we isolate a problem – which is the basic strategy of most of western (I don’t know about other) thinking

 

The problem is, usually the detail is a symptom

 

However, if you step back and look at the intent – by discovering the fundamental purpose, you usually automatically eliminate the problem.

 

For example, we have a huge crises in relationships.

 

To a large extent this crises came about because whereas society had a social construct, governing the correct roles of male and female – well intentioned fools came about and questioned the very basics of this structure

 

Now they were well intentioned, for they wanted women to be equal, but they were fools for without understanding why God made man and woman, what gives each respective sex happiness – their breakdown of the social norms created perhaps the greatest misery for women in the recent known history

 

Let’s use this example – from God’s perspective men and women form a team – instead of having just a man, God created a help to guide, educate and fix him (which is why women tend to do this.)

 

Furthermore they both benefit, not only from the dedication, love and support they give to one another, but obviously through the nachas (joy) at the greatest gift God has given man, children! (this is a very brief overview showing how the answer lies at understanding how we are both equal and different, both unique and complimentary – certainly not at war which is the basis of hate and misery).

 

All in all, the deeper you go into God’s intent, the more it encompasses hence explains.
