Sometimes, this platform feels sterile. Maybe it's something I've done & offended everyone, but my attempts at being happy & friendly are ignored most of the time. Have I done something worthy of exile? Is everyone else only on here to promote themselves as teachers? I know we're a relatively small group, and people have lives, but I see so much attention being focussed on going to other sites, when we can fellowship right here. Rhy has literally put his life on the line to give this oppotunity to us...why aren't more of us engaging each other? Maybe it's my fault. I live a fairly secluded life. My daughter is the main person in my life, and she's gone at work a lot now. Izve been turning to TTN for socialization because we have no Torah community here, just Hinjews. I should be used to it by now, but I'm not. I want to be around other positive, YHWH fearing people, to hold me accountable in my walk. Please, if you see someone post a greeting, the least you can do is give it a thumbs up. You may be the only person that individual has contact with that day. Are you going to be like the rabbi and cross to the other side of the road so you aren't inconvenienced, or are you going to be the samaritan who heals and nutures a stranger? Shalom, and have a wonderful day!
