Goodness, positivity and spiritual growth - Interesting essay by Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo
|
Often when looking out at the world we
see a rather bleak image. There is so much that is dark and ugly, that we can
even be blinded to all the good that continually surrounds us. In his latest
essay, Rabbi Dr. Nathan Lopes Cardozo discusses the negative spiritual
ramifications of seeing only the bad in the world, and how appreciating the good
can bring us to understand that we have a moral and religious purpose.?
?
Rabbi Cardozo writes that speaking
‘lashon hara’ of the universe is the antithesis to the purpose of genuine
religious life, which is to protest the optical illusion of only darkness, and
to teach us to refocus our spiritual spectacles.

another volume in the "Cardozo?on the Parashah" series, which
includes interesting essays on the weekly Torah portion.**
