Desperate To Fit In

Sometimes we're so desperate to fit in that we become the loudest proponents of the side we're trying to join, and the loudest critics of the side we're trying to leave. Here are a few examples:

1. Women Trying To Be Like Men:
• Women and men are different, we have different qualities, attributes, temperaments and we have different roles to play in society. Unfortunately, in the past few years, women have been so desperate to become 'equal' to men, that some women have become the loudest critics of feminine qualities. Feminine qualities, such as looking after children, taking care of the home, creating a nurturing, caring, loving family unit are perceived as 'weak', compared to 'stronger' masculine qualities, such as working outside the home etc. Women leaving their role in society has been a disaster for families, for communities and for society as a whole. Children have suffered the most as a result of absent mothers, mothers who now spend all their time working.
• Women need to embrace their feminine qualities and being to fully realize their role in society.
2. The Jews/The Nation of Israel Trying To Be Like The Nations of The World:
• The Jews/The Nation of Israel and The Nations of The World are different, they have different roles to play in society. Unfortunately, in the past few years, the Jews/The Nation of Israel have been so desperate to become like everyone else, that they've completely abandoned their role. So much so, that some Jews/Israelites have become the loudest critics of the Jews/The Nation of Israel. The result of the Jews/The Nation of Israel not playing their role in society has been a disaster for the entire world and everyone, including all of nature, is suffering as a result.
• The Jews/The Nation of Israel needs to return to God and begin to fully realize their role in society.

People have different roles to play and we have to accept this. We're equal, but we're different. The sooner we accept our different roles, the sooner we can begin to play them, and the sooner we can bring harmony and balance to all of our lives. 

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
