If I were hurtling down a rabbit-hole and a genie offered me one wish, I would likely request a tour guide. Now tell me that the past ten months haven’t taken us all on a dizzying Ozian spin.
Look out the window of your space capsule and you’ll find you’ve entered an insanely adversarial universe, one in which the major preoccupation of far too many people is ”Who’s on my side and who’s against me?”
Problem is, the adversarial universe is swiftly heading for cosmic implosion. It’s eating up civilization as we know it before our very eyes.
Tell me there’s a tour guide, some wisdom, some leadership, somewhere, anywhere.
I guess that’s why several people have asked me, “What The adversarial universe is eating up civilization as we know it before our very eyes.would the Rebbe have said about the current mess?”
We’re right on season to ask the question. Seventy years ago at this time of year (11 Shvat, 1951—which falls this year on Saturday night, Jan. 23), the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson of righteous memory, formally took upon himself the leadership of the weary and orphaned refugees that then comprised the core of Chabad-Lubavitch, and although few realized it at that time, leadership of the Jewish people everywhere.
He provided guidance at a time when all seemed lost for many, when an entire world had just been annihilated and a future for believing Jews seemed futile. He built that motley crew into a decisive force for goodness and wisdom in today’s world.
The message? It’s not a rabbit-hole.

Tradition !
The commies have stunk up D.C.. They can have it now.
The only tour guide is Jesus and the prophets of old. It’s all right there, all of it. The world has gone mad a dozen different ways. The only thing that makes sense is having Jesus as your friend and tour guide.
“We have seen the enemy and the enemy is US.”
That’s one interpretation. Mine is that the enemy is them.
If all Americans were united on all issues we’d be a bunch of robots. America is engaged in a cold civil war practically all the time.
From the article: “Tell me there’s a tour guide, some wisdom, some leadership, somewhere, anywhere.”
Edith Wharton wrote in “The Age of Innocence”, “The turnings of life seldom show a signpost”
You want unity? Nazi Germany had “Unity”.
“The turnings of life seldom show a signpost”
It’s why individuals with a sense of honor and a moral compass are so important
“It’s why individuals with a sense of honor and a moral compass are so important”
Absolutely. Also important to stay informed.
I find it interesting that the Dims want unity. Kinda fits right in with “the religion of peace”.
“Islam” as we all know, means “peace” - but only the peace that comes when we all do and think as THEY do and think.
So, too, the Dims definition of “unity”.
Oh - and don’t forget - the serpent played with words to get Eve to eat that fruit. Anybody who plays with words gets my hackles up, and my level of trust down.
As Rush used to say, “Words mean things.”
