debriefing the war, the coming attack on iran, hurricanes in the gulf, elections, murders, cancer.....
me?
I just fully accepted the fact that I am ONE-HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS in debt,
with little chance of ANY INCOME for the next 4 or 5 years.
it seemed so easy, just to think, "hell, i'm living in new york, i'm in school, i have expenses... what can i do?
in a few years i will have a sweet job as a Reform Rabbi, and I'll get that debt paid off right quick."
heh.
we are doing a Spiritual Growth workshop on fear-- regaining a healthy sense of the Fear of Heaven (or the Awe of God, if you like). Our textual model is the Israelites standing at the sea before it split, having no sense at all of where they are going, or how they will survive.
You just gotta look at that sea, see its turbulent waters, and jump.

of DOOM.
my latest spiritual practice is to tack on "of DOOM" to everything - kind of like fortune cookies with "in bed". can you pass me the salt? of DOOM?" etc. I highly recommend it.
big hugs, me
What boggles my mind is how that previous post is supposed to help.
You're encouraging him to feel guilty for having borrowed money to go to school?
And, you're recommending that he repress his frustrations regarding his debt, rather than openly express them?
Seems like the exact opposite of helpful advice.
Seems like helpful advice would be something on the order of offering him a good job, or a good way to earn money.
can't you just declare bankruptcy ?? if there is such a thing, i'm not in the know.. or fake your own death .. it would give you something new and interesting to do with your time, rather than slaving for years to pay back that much money. or you could be brainwashed by my brother in law into never doing anything at all and just relying on G-d to somehow magically resolve everything for you -- it's worked fabulously for him so far..
