Thanks for the wise words of advice. I agree with you that there is, today especially, a natural tendency towards too much focus on self growth and individualism at the expense of communal, national and even universal growth. I hope that I, and everyone else, will learn to find the balance between all of those important aspects.

I wrote it in the past tense in order to emphasize the fact that dreaming is not enough anymore but that we need to join a practical implementation to our dream. Thus, I don't consider myself a mere dreamer anymore - now that I am going to fulfill my dream. Rather, I consider myself a realizer. (Of course, I still value the dream, and I realize that it is not completely realized, but I wanted to emphasize my change in focus from a passive dreamy state to an active realization state.

Agreed. To me, it was obvious that it was the root cause, but you are right - it needs to be mentioned. Thank you!

Thanks for the comment
For #1, I agree with you. I invite you to re-read the post and see I did try and specify that for those who deserve to die, my only "tragic" feeling is that they didn't choose a better life. Once they chose the life of terrorism, I have no problem with their death.

For #2, Interesting and thanks for the correction but I would need to ask you how mordechai's answer works when the idea of not rejoicing for when our enemies fall was in the red sea where it was not israelites who were dying but egyptians. So how is it that "Hanei Milei BeYisrael"? Thanks again for adding your input.

Thanks for the great comments
I agree with you on all of these things. I think you just briefly mentioned most of the specific issues I will deal with after having described the broader principles of the platform I "propose" :-)

I think Zemer's post points out exactly how we should approach this "bridge" of ours. Yes, we are on a bridge. Yes, we are realists and we realize that we cannot just fly on the other side. But if we forget that the bridge is here to bring us on the other side, we have a few dangers: 1) we can end up camping out on the bridge and never make it to the other side, or wait very long while it might be time to be on the other side. 2) we can take a wrong turn and take a detour rather than going striaght to the bridge.

That being said, I think Malter's point is important as well. It is dangerous to think you can fly. While we pray that God makes us fly on the other side, I don't suggest anyone jumps and just hopes God makes him fly. Chances are you won't fly, even if you have a great emunah, because God is a scientist, and he wants us to live through the natural means. So, there is a danger in becoming very excited with the gueoula in that saying Mashiach Now makes us skip essential steps in our growth and not concentrate on making the process move forward and instead just . However, every good thing has dangers, and being excited about our gueoula is a GREAT thing, and so while we must recognize the dangers, we should not let those dangers take away even an ounce of our excitement.
