Description

p. 157. The ko'ach (power) of giving is the source of all love and achdus (unity), whereas the desire to receive and to take is the source of separation. Needing the pat on the back - validation. Acting without determining the source of my actions. Getting to the root within myself of the good and the bad (the desire to have and take). An inability to connect to others. Texting, facebook, twitter, e-mail - it simply means that we're substituting electronic devices for real, human and nefesh-to-nefesh communication. "Investing" , giving, in order to receive.
