Mockery

B"H

Mockery
-------

Mockery is the prime weapon of the dark impulses within Man. It is the
prime obstacle to moving forward and upward --the thought that perhaps
people will say, “Why are you behaving today differently than you did
yesterday? Weren’t you good enough then? Are you really so great today?â€

And the most powerful mocker is the one within your own self.

When you start something you know is good and right, and you hear a
voice inside saying,

"Hold it! Who do you think you are to take on such a lofty noble path?
Hypocrite! Don’t you remember what you were involved in just a moment
ago?"

--know that what you did a moment ago is irrelevant.
All that matters is what you will do right now.

Any voice that holds you back from moving forward -no matter how
justified it may sound
-any such voice is a voice of destruction and decay,
not of growth and life.



This one really hit a nerve with me today. I know that self mockery; it's distruction; it's lie.
What matters is what I do today....right now... It's never to late to grow. Thank G*D!
Shalom!
