“More than all that you guard, Guard your mind, For it is the source of life. Put crooked speech away from you; Keep devious talk far from you. Let your eyes look forward, Your gaze be straight ahead. Survey the course you take, And all your ways will prosper.

Proverbs 4:23-26

(Translation by JPS Tanakh)

There is love and there is beautiful love. True love includes empathy and compassion which makes it a beautiful love. Love is often fostered in expectation of reciprocity. Real love is expressed even when one gets nothing in return; even when the other doesn’t deserve love. Tiferet is giving also to those that have hurt you. It acknowledges the discipline of gevurah and says that, nevertheless, compassionate love calls for helping all.

Exercise for the day: Offer a helping hand to a stranger.
