VIDEO: Can the Global Suffering Be Avoided?
Natural disasters and crises in technology, education, family life, ecology, social and international problems, have a purpose—to bring us to the question “What is the meaning of our lives?” In Can the Global Suffering Be Avoided? Rav Michael Laitman, PhD talks with Bnei Baruch student and senior lecturer Eran Shayovich about the purpose of suffering and the role of the wisdom of Kabbalah in our era.
Rav Michael Laitman, PhD (from the interview):
Today, we have reached a general crisis-in technology, in education, in family life, social problems, international problems of all sorts... and it really is a general crisis where in all areas of humanity we see that we don't know how to progress. We don't know what direction to take because whatever direction we take, we see that after a few years, we actually come to a bitter result. And until now, any development that took place was only in order for us to arrive at such a situation and conclusion, and to have this question awaken in us: What should we do? What is the meaning of our life? Why do we live this way, and is there a plan for evolution that doesn't bring us to failure and bitter sensation? Watch this Video...
