Shouldn't Yom Kippur be BEFORE Rosh Hashana, so we come into Judgment day clean?

it doesn't make a lot of sense that we begin our year with Rosh Hashanah and then we go to Yom Kippur there's something off about the order here because if Rosh Hashanah it's a brand new year and it's a whole you know new reality why should we go into that new year in soiled garments why should we go into the air with like last year's clothes that need a serious wash shouldn't it be Yom Kippur first and then we're going to Rosh Hashanah couldn't we just clean off first and then begin our year fresh and clean like a little baby out of a bath so the reason is is because you know right after Yom Kippur you have a lot of clarity you're carefully you know you're still realizing who the militants comes Kiss Live okay it's getting a little dark but you like the lights of Hanukkah and it like relights your Clarity and there being a menace as that year goes on like you get further and further from the light the colder it gets and so you start to lose lose a little Clarity you know after a while you instead of the crown being on God's head you start putting on your head you you want to look at you're going to eat what you want to eat you're gonna you know do what you want to do and so after a while you're kind of crowning yourself comes hello where you know we start realizing oh my gosh there's a king and we start putting the crown on hashem's head and we crowned God over us therefore I crown him over my eyes and I crown him over my mouth and I Crown them over my ears and I Crown them over my desires I make Hashem and he comes Rosh Hashanah two days straight of like a major brainwash and it's like we don't stop for two days and what happens is during this process you suddenly realize oh my gosh there's a malach and that point but back in your year and you're like I'm starting to realize how far you've been from the King how far you were from Aveeno volcano if I were to ask you what you had done wrong in the middle of Thomas you'd be like I don't know all kinds of things I don't remember why because after you do something wrong a few times or you're losing Clarity or you're losing your your funness and dominating after a few times you forget all about it you just forget you're even doing that and so it's impossible to remember what went wrong but after a powerful day of clarity after Russia showing where you have this like giant wake up so in that giant wake up you're now you're now getting that Clarity and one of the ways that this is expressed is enough in marriage like for example um imagine a mansion of man forgets to tell his wife that he's going to Las Vegas for a convention for three days you know so so at the end of the day realize wait I never called my wife and so he calls her and he says I'm so sorry I forgot to tell you but I'll be in Vegas for three days and then he comes back after the three days and what does he find he finds his bedroom door locked and he finds a blanket and pillow on the couch [Music] and he's going to be there for a few days probably because until he can articulate the loss of clarity and what kind of what kind of man goes to Las Vegas for three days without telling his wife you know but that's where he was at because he had lost Clarity and it'll take him a few days to get the clarity of how much this relationship means to him and then he'll finally be able to say the words that will get him back into the bedroom and so it's similar with us it's with Hashem it's that we lose clarity throughout the year and then finally Rosh Hashanah comes to get the clarity only with that Clarity can you properly look at yourself and say wow how far have I been and when you get that how far have I been from this awesome King who loves me it's and you can do proper juvenile and Yom Kippur
