Is Now Good?

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)

We live in a "now" generation. Everything has to be right now. Lunch? 15 seconds in the micro. A phone call? The phone is in my pocket and I will call my friend whose phone is in his pocket. NOW! Even Moshiach is NOW. We want Moshiach now!

A secret beloved friends: Good things don't come NOW. They come after long, hard work and often suffering. There are no short-cuts.

The geulah, both personal and global, will come. But only when we are good and ready.
