    Omg, this just spoke to me so much. First, that nagging fear of being nothing. I thought it was just me. What a relief to know that it is what all men deal with and I need to accept it and get over it. Second, I really need to let my mother be. She is fine, our relationships are fine, I don't need to fix her. What a great explanation of how you honor your parents! I just loved this talk!!

    So true Rabbi Friedman, to be needed hits your soul like nothing else. There's one thing i think from experience (I've always had close relationships with animlas since a child) - certain deeply sensitive animals value being needed by those closest to them, not just affections of love. Not in the same way as a person's soul, however it seems Hashem created certain animals with deeper sparks of His Soul. For example some dogs have the emotional undstanding of a 3-4 year old human. Very young children yearn to be needed to be 'apart of' the family where everyone has something to contribute, our dog reacts the same way. It seems the whole Earth & everything in it echoes to be NEEDED not loved to create harmony the inanimate, plant, animal & human worlds intergrated need eachother. I guess it makes sense, G-d wouldn't create something that wasn't needed & there's nothing but G-d.

Trauma therapist Edith Eiger who is 94 and still a therapist, has had many survivors of child abuse which stunted their emotional growth. They asked her how they can talk about their trauma when she had survived the Shoah? She replies "At least when I went into the camp, I knew who my enemy was!"

    Loving God is fine. But never fear God. He has already given you the wisdom and guidance, it is within you, you just have to be alert and attentive to it. No need to search, everything is inside you from the day you were born. You just have to stop paying attention to the noise that fills your head and masks his direction, his guidance, and suddenly everything will seem clear, absolute, primal.

    No. We each are connected to G-d in a special way akin to marriage. A deep intimate connection. We're not 'married to G-d', that's another ideology not Judaism. We're not 'married' to each other either. We are separate people who will one day be more united as a global community when everyone accepts the reality that G-d is All and He is One, for everyone. Loving G-d does not automatically mean respect and love for our fellow human beings. It "should" though it doesn't, yet. Like everything else it has to be worked on to happen. 'Respect' would come before 'love' since many people say they 'love' though have little to no 'respect'. Another overused word that has lost meaning.

    What is 'slavery'? Having no choice in serving a "master" who "owns" you, whether bought and paid for or by control. Contrast that with us joyfully and enthusiastically serving G-d. Our "lack of choice" if you want to see it that way is that we're compelled to serve Him. We all have a choice, free will, not to serve G-d, not to acknowledge Who He is, What He is, etc, therefore no hint of 'slavery'. Maybe except in your mind.
