Why Do We Argue?

Chazal say that any machlokes that is for the sake of Heaven will last but if it is not, then it will dissapate. The reason is that when people argue for the sake of Heaven there is a common goal - to reach the truth. The argument is just on what the nature of the truth is. Such an argument will last because the search for truth never ends.

If the argument is NOT for the sake of Heaven then the moment one decides to forgot about his personal interests the argument is over.

[Sfas Emes]

It is worth exploring if our arguments are purely for the sake of Heaven.

This blog has a beautiful tan as I write from Florida. May I be zoche to see the beauty in every centimeter of the Eretz Hakodesh as I appreciate the beauty looking out the window on the 19th floor here in the Sunshine State. AHHHHH - the water, the trees, the sky. מה רבו מעשיך השם!!

The holy spirit of the Sfas Emes wafts through the air as I write...

Love and blessings:-)
