What is really going down?

To truly understand reality, we need to obviously look through the eyes of, in my mind, the only person who truly understood – certainly who truly explained reality – namely, the Lubavitcher Rebbe.
First and foremost, there is no doubt, reality is not an accident; it is not random, and if it is not an accident, nor is it random, it means it is determined; if it is determined, then of course the question is, what on earth is going on, on earth?!
So the answer is, as the Rebbe teaches, so very fundamentally simple!
As our sages teach, God desires a home on earth.
As the Rebbe clarifies, what this really means, is: God loves you!
In other words, when one person loves another, they wish to be in the other person’s heart.
However, if they love the other, then they also make room for the other to choose that relationship; as to force it, say, to cause someone to be subservient out of fear, obviously, is counterproductive to the relationship.
Hence, God creates, that who He loves, should have complete, total, freedom of expression – cast into a world in which light and darkness seem equally as appealing; where God and stupidity are truly seen on equal footing; and then traveling through our own experiences, tasting both; man, realizes, how meaningless life without God is.
But, and this is a most important but, also defined by the Rebbe:
If you enter into a relationship with a human, what you see is what you get (presumably, if they are genuine) It is warm, cozy, fuzzy etc. however, fundamentally, it cannot be more than the sum of its parts; but when you enter into a relationship with God, though it may also have those human qualities – it is fundamentally not limited to the sum of its parts! for God has no parts! God is not a being like us, defined, limited, rather is infinite; which in terms of our relationship with Him; every day, perhaps even every moment, a new experience will lead you to greater goodness, greater understanding, greater wisdom, greater humility etc. etc.
