Very Good

Death is really a great blessing for humanity, without it there could be no real progress. People who lived for ever would not only hamper and discourage the young, but they would themselves lack sufficient stimulus to be creative.

Alfred Adler

The Torah says "And Hashem saw all that He had created and it was VERY GOOD [Tov meod]" - "Very good" explain the Rabbis in the Medrash, is referring to death.

Death?

Very good?

Yes.

But only if a person lives his life with death in mind. Today could be, chas vishalom, my last. Then he begins to live.

Sort of takes away ones desire to watch college basketball, doesn't it?

Love, blessings and arichus yomim to all!!!:)
