Instruction manual - Our life comes with an instruction manual

Instruction manual

 

We humans are quite unique.

Out of all creation

we are the only ones

who do not know

how to get along in life.

 

A long time ago we thought

we would know

everything better than the Creator

and threw out his advice.

None of that has changed

up to today.

 

However, all that got us

was sorrow and confusion

but most of the time

we are too proud

to admit it.

 

But our Creator means well

with us anyway.

He sends an instruction manual

with His Word

on His way with us.

And because we humans

are too lazy to study and apply it,

he sent us His Son

to model the proper behavior

in life for us.

He did everything

in order to get us out

of our desperate situation.

No offering or sorrow

was too big for him.

 

But even then

we remained stubborn.

Everything we need

for a fulfilling life

was laid down at our feet,

but our pride and own will

hinders us in accepting it.

 

Even with an instruction manual

and personal guidance

we often remain stubborn.

 

What else should our Creator

do for us?

He will not take

our free will from us.

 

Oh, what kind of

unique creatures we are

in believing that we would know

everything better

and not need the instruction manual.

The commandments are meant to be internalized, taught, and lived daily.

 

Deuteronomy 6:5–7 (The Israel Bible)

You shall love Hashem your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 Take to heart these instructions with which I charge you this day. 7 Impress them upon your children. Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up.

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
