it's interesting you know we have a
commandment to love our neighbors as
ourselves
at first glance that sounds like a
little unrealistic I mean love my
neighbor as myself I don't even know my
neighbor right maybe I'll go out have a
couple beers see if I can get along with
them right how can I be commanded in an
emotion the truth is you're not
commanded in an emotion you're commanded
in an action Kabbalah teaches us that
existentially we are all connected the
emotion of love is a feeling of that
truth whether we feel connected or not
we are connected but we're commanded to
behave in a way that will enable us to
access the feeling in the realization of
this truth so love is actually the most
natural emotion rooted in simply the
existential fact that you and I and you
and I and him and her are all connected
and to know that and to feel that is
what we call love
