I was beginning to think it could only be me that was feeling awfully tired and frustrated with things to do. I think I was really resentful that we had to stay at home. It made a difference to me to hear that others also get tired but that there is something beautiful about being able to make Pesach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-85150930931750718972008-04-10T16:37:00.000-04:002008-04-10T16:37:00.000-04:00Bas-Melech,I won't argue with you because you are ...Bas-Melech,<BR/>I won't argue with you because you are right. Real life begins when we draw our first breath and doesn't end until we take our last breath. I suppose what people really mean to say when they tell others that they haven't experienced "real life" yet, is that there are other stages yet to come. It's a kind of verbal laziness--seems to be easier to just say "you don't know what real life is" then to try and explain what is really going on.ProfKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954446826821665314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096776708897685863.post-46656746975620853442008-04-10T11:15:00.000-04:002008-04-10T11:15:00.000-04:00Forget Pesach -- This is my gripe all year 'round....Forget Pesach -- This is my gripe all year 'round. True, chagim are part of real Jewish life just like minyan, etc. But I think that every part of life is "real life." Sometimes people just wait to get to "real life" and never validate what they're doing at the moment.<BR/><BR/>For example, I don't think my life is any less "real" than that of my friends who are married with kids. ("Groan...I'm sooo overwhelmed." "Get used to it -- that's what real life is going to be about.") Ditto for all those poor school kids who are told that real life begins in adulthood: If they're living in it, how can it not be real?!Bas~Melechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511197551248863790noreply@blogger.com
