Steady As She Goes | An entry for the sake of it

This is a post about me being detailed. The reason for this blog entry is due in part to my having created an eleven (11) part, 1 per hour, list of traits I wish to emulate/activate/research/grow in. I started this activity at 8:00pm last night and am now at #10. The following is the list in full:

1. Grateful
2. Happy
3. G-dly
4. Wise
5. Industrious
6. Steady
7. Business Smart
8. Easy to get along with
9. Prolific
10. Detailed
11. Humble

Each of these traits took me on divergent paths, which leads me, in part, to believe that I am limited in what I can accomplish. I further believe that this is due to previous decisions I made, as well as physical limitations, and choices of what I am and am not willing to do now.

How, you might ask, is this entry detailed. For starters, I am writing this entry on my blog that I expect no one looks at for 1 of 2 or more reasons. A, it lacks any content save the wallpapers, and B, I don't share it, because of reasons A. Next, this will be seen as a detailed accomplishment because I say it is, and in this case, I am the judge, as a posed to other things I write... I suppose now I have come to the conclusion that I am the judge of certain things in my life and that G-d is the judge of others, and that others are the judge of the rest. I suppose I am a heretic.

This will not be published and will be deemed in my eyes as an attempt and not a very good one, precisely because it reminds me of my inadequacies and my unwillingness to do anything about them, other than occasional learning that I am quick to forget/easy to do away with/am not wholeheartedly committed to fulfilling. I find it no wonder that my life is in shambles with no hope for repair or ascent with such an attitude. May G-d have mercy on my soul and lead in the good and correct path.

Lastly, this post serves for both #8 and #9, as it is a symptom of prolificness, and it is somewhat detailed.

Au Revoir.

Life expectancy before the flood and after, creation and evolution.

Library » History » Early Years | Subscribe | What is RSS? PRINT EMAIL COMMENT Rabbi Latowicz: Welcome. I'll be with you in a moment... Melinda: Are ages in the Bible to be taken literally? Melinda: People don't live as long today as they reportedly did in biblical times, and no methods exist to slow the aging process Rabbi Latowicz: Until the Great Flood, there were no seasons; the weather was always temperate. After the Flood, G-d tells Noah that there will be constant seasonal changes (Genesis 8:22). Melinda: ok Rabbi Latowicz: Rabbi Meir Leibush (Malbim) explains this as follows: Until the Flood, the earth's axis had no tilt relative to the sun. As a result of the flood, the earth's axis tilted in relation to the sun. Thus, the earth's climate changed drastically, resulting in a weakening of the human constitution and ability to withstand these constant changes in weather. Rabbi Latowicz: Thus, as a prelude to the Flood, G-d says "I won't constantly contend concerning Man ... his life-span shall be 120 years" (Genesis 6:3). The Ibn Ezra explain this to mean that lifetimes would gradually decrease, until the maximum will be around 120. Rabbi Latowicz: I hope that answers your question about why people don't live as long today as they once did. Rabbi Latowicz: As for technology's inability to slow the aging process, that's more a problem with technology than with the Bible. "The scientific study of aging is a young discipline" (National Geographic Nov. '97). Compared to many areas of science, relatively little is known about aging. Richard A. Knox refers to the "black box of aging," and calls it a "mystery" (The Boston Globe 1997). Melinda: so everybody back then lived over 100 years? how old could people be? Rabbi Latowicz: at one pijnt several hundred years Rabbi Latowicz: then by Moses day not more than 120 Melinda: ok, what about those that say the Bible ages are patirarchal life spans? Melinda: not to be taken literally Rabbi Latowicz: Judaism does not accpept that position Rabbi Latowicz: that is not the tradition we recived at Sinai Melinda: ok i see Melinda: i read that some Babylonia kings were said to reign over 30,00 years Rabbi Latowicz: no such record in the Bible Melinda: ok thank you Rabbi Latowicz: very welcome:) Melinda: sorry i have tons of questions, just a couple more if i could Rabbi Latowicz: k Melinda: what about the evidence for evolution? are your views that it is not convincing and/or fake? Melinda: ok Rabbi Latowicz: REAL science that is sscientific FACT that has been demonstrated empirically in teh lab,,does not contradict Bible ..only scientific THEORY,,,which is a HYPOTHESIS Melinda: ok Melinda: and about the evidence that the Earth is much older than indicated by the Bible? Rabbi Latowicz: very simple solution to that Rabbi Latowicz: when G-d created Adam how old was he? Melinda: hmmm..maybe 20? Rabbi Latowicz: actually correct:) Melinda: lucky guess Rabbi Latowicz: in other words a fully grown male Rabbi Latowicz: fully developed mature human organism Melinda: ok Rabbi Latowicz: the creation of the world was teh same Rabbi Latowicz: G-d created an OLD world Rabbi Latowicz: one fully EVOLVED Rabbi Latowicz: that may meausure millions of years old Rabbi Latowicz: ( presuming that its accurate):) Melinda: ah i see Melinda: that makes sense Melinda: ok, well thanks for answering all my questions, thank you for your time Rabbi Latowicz: shalom Melinda: shalom Rabbi Latowicz: very welcome All names, places, and identifying information have been changed or deleted in order to protect the privacy of the questioners.
