Message on Righteousness

[HaShev]

How to Become Righteous:
Righteousness is one who Bestows, cares and sacrifices their own pleasure (I.e.prince) for the sake of others.
Righteousness is in trying to bring about good changes in a decaying society.
It's in being a watcher, a comforter for those who are being misstreated.
It's in being there for people, accessable, helpful, sharing, fighting for freedoms, equal justice,
fair Justices in general, mediating and helping things progress, sharing ideas, thoughts, passions
for a better future.

It's in working for the Tikkun Olam (the repair of the world.)

See how simple that is and straightforward practily everyone does at least a few of them or at least strives too and no stupid doctrines to follow and no need to believe in a free get out of jail card named Jesus...Think how much better the world would be or the people in it if they had just been taught these simple concepts as children instead of complex nonsensical ideas that make no sense at all...

 

[HaShev]

Agree, and all these things bring Shalem (stability/completeness/wholeness).

all that leads to suffering. you want to help the sick, first you have to make sickness. you want to save the earth, first you have to threaten to kill it. you want to feed the hungry, first you have to cause starvation. you want to free the slaves, first you have to crack the whip. you want to do all these righteous things? what evil are you prepared to commit in order to justify yourselves? well, i'm making fire on saturday to tell you the road to hell is paved with good intentions such as those.
