One way to love people is to be concerned about what hurt them (a rabbi)
My association was with Christ's comment "What you have done the least of mine you have done to Me". Would You like to comment on this?
No, this is another subject, my son, even if there is common ground. We'll leave that alone.
Here's what this is all about. Man suffers on earth, actually every
human being, especially at times. And then his vulnerability is greatest, and his
struggle. His self-image is severely compromised and certainly also his sense
of security in life. And in fact, one is struck to the depths of his soul,
tormented by great suffering. And one has the impression that one is on his own.
And so, one very much needs the fellow man, in the form of support, love and
understanding. And even if you talk to someone about this suffering years
later, you will notice that the suffering is actually still life-size and one
still suffers talking about it.
And isn't this a wonderful moment to be there for someone? So this rabbi has a great insight. When you are willing to listen to the suffering of your fellow man and show compassion, then you can really be there for someone. Then there is real love, then you can really help, then you can really be there as a fellow man. And even with strangers, this coming together is possible. Even with strangers, in one-off encounters. And you don't have to go rooting. Just talk to someone and be prepared and the suffering may come to the surface on its own.
And love gets her chance.
And then two more things happen there. Expressing suffering and being heard with love are working very healing. And where two people are together in understanding and love, there is God in full glory in their midst. And that is always felt by men, even if it is not always named as such.
My blessings to you all
