The injustice remains in this part of the Universe where time goes relatively fast, but Moepackman seems to see into the upper reaches of Heaven (outer part of this Universe) where time goes much slower and where life is filled with kindness, justice and brotherhood as we approach the Holiness of the Lord.<BR/>Moepackman is right about all good and bad being everlasting, but that is only in the memory of the Lord God Almighty of Israel. To His Creation that becomes immortal, these people and creatures will experience only good and there will be no more evil in the reality of the present that immortals will then experience.<BR/>I thank the Lord God Almighty of Israel for enlightening a lowly creature like me and allowing me to express itMark Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15880242558997662505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2832364329882359207.post-39265955417997442612008-04-14T23:36:00.000-06:002008-04-14T23:36:00.000-06:00Beautifully stated.

In our tradition, we are constantly remembering and re-embracing the huge span of history. We relive the exodus each year. Each year we receive the torah anew. And similarly, each year we remember the horrors of history. Just as the victims of the Shoah will forever be with us, so will the ancient martyrs. Time erases nothing.<BR/><BR/>I like to think of time in the manner of Talmud ... a continuous conversation with all times and peoples present at once. It is only in this context of nonlinear time that I can see something other than injustice in the world. All, good and bad, are everlasting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
