What’s your view?

I recently moved to an apartment with a gorgeous view.
It’s such a pleasure to type as I see mountains, and palm trees, and the clear blue skies, with the fluff of some cotton clouds.
It made me realize that when we see beauty it lifts the spirit!
But then it made me realize, in life we also need to have hope!
Hope is seeing beauty!
In life, in general, if our feeling is that people or life etc. etc. is rotten, then of course we will feel rotten!
But if we believe, as Chassidus teaches, that people are in essence the goodness of God (it is only fear that causes them to act wild, as we see in children) if we believe that the world is not rotten rather God is simply allowing people the discernment of they themselves beginning to reject that which is meaningless for that which is meaningful – if we begin to imagine how a tiny sperm cell grew from one idea – Abraham’s monotheism, the first notion that the word is run by a loving God, giving you and me and everyone freedom of choice, so we can embrace whole-heartedly – not grudgingly – love and unity, and this tiny cell is now to a larger extent the dominant worldview – if we can see how not millions, but hundreds of millions of people are embracing this beautiful notion and the rest –as gallup predicts – is only getting stronger – if we can see that the Lubavitcher Rebbe who accurately foretold the events of our time and promised based on all Jewish sources that OUR GENERATION! shall be the first of redemption – a redemption that humanity eagerly awaits – well then, we will lift our spirit!
