CONFUSION
I can see from the comments to my blog that I belong to a large community of rebels! Some are X-Rebels, and some are still looking for Nirvana
Sometimes…..
I feel compelled
And emotionally overwhelmed.
I want to go
Watch the “outside” show.
So, I stray,
I go away.
But – that’s no good
I wish I understood
Why no place is home.
Do I have to roam?
To find out
The truth?

Thanks....I hope you'll stay tuned for more, and give me your feedback.
Girl, great piece. I like, alot.
How do we find the balance? Enjoy the outside, without letting it take over our home? And is there any way to find the truth without leaving? Or, more so, to accept it as the truth?
to Chai,
I think there IS a balance. But when a person is young, it doesn't appear that way. You've just GOTTA get out and see what the fuss is about, and when you do get out there, after a while you see that it's not for real. The fun, the nightclubs, smoking, drinking, staying out late, the opposite sex, defiance is in full swing......if you really believe in Yiddishkeit, and you see the beauty of it, in other homes, maybe in homes where the children were raised to love Hashem as a father, not to fear Him (the way I was, and maybe you, too) you'll know that's the right way, the true way. AND you will see that you can have the balance. It doesn't have to take over the home. You can enjoy the outside world, in a way that doesn't go against the rules, and tradition, and you can have the beauty of Shabbos, the shteeble, the chasidis, the rebbe's tish on a Friday night.....the true beauty of our religion.
I'm writing this in a hurry, it's before Shabbos, and I'm kind of rambling here, but I think you get my drift.
A lot of people find the truth without leaving! They never questioned it!! They were raised in warm homes, with parents who didn't yell at them, and say G-D will punish them for every little thing, but with explanations of each mitzvoh and how wonderful it is to Hashem that we do it. So they are raised knowing and believing and they don't have the need to go outside and search. They never lost it, there is nothing to search for!
Have a good Shabbos.
ps. I don't know about all of you, but since I started blogging, it's occupying so much of my time, I may have to quit my day job! :-))
to cynic
I said "that with all this blogging and my obsession to it, I MIGHT have to quit my day job".....just a little humor to imply that I cannot stop blogging, now that I've started. I find myself checking my blog, constantly, and going to other blogs, to read them and to comment........still working 9-5 though.
