and goodness even though the story was written in the Bible.\u00a0 What adds to the story\u2019s uniqueness and depth is that even though the Egyptian Pharaoh is punished for his sins, he nevertheless never relents his hatred and desire to hold the Jews as his captives.\u00a0 What is most captivating and real about the crisis between good and evil is that the Pharaoh unremittingly thinks of and admires himself as a G-d.\u00a0 Had he had just a little bit of maturity, he would have realized his main limitation&#8212;that he was mortal just like the rest of us.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span

story, however, is that for many years Moses is thought of as a King, and he was raised from infancy by the Pharaoh\u2019s sister to be a king.\u00a0 Moses, however, never succumbs to pride and never deifies himself.\u00a0 He is honest and forthright throughout his life.\u00a0 What makes him a powerful leader of the enslaved people, the Jews, is that he thinks like a mortal and wants to be a mortal, thereby raising the hopes of G-d for mankind and its goodness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri\"><span style=\"font-size:

that good surfaces and that evil dissipates.\u00a0 Above all else, we must be honest to ourselves and then we can be honest and forthright to people.\u00a0 Wishing you a healthy and hearty Passover holiday, I am the wife of Martin Freier, a man whose truth shined always throughout his life, even though he was exposed to the Nazi terror as a child.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What Are Some Of My Own Thoughts
