We are coming from the most extraordinary month of the year and have entered the dullest month of the year. However, this essay argues that the best opportunities grow from the routine ordinary days.
We are given a hundred and twenty years because it takes that long to develop an appreciation for the purpose of life. We can learn to live our lives in relatively few years.

They hate us. They accuse us of destroying the world in many ways. Are they wrong to say that we have destroyed the world? Yes. Are they right that we can change the world for the better? Yes. G-d gave us that power. We would do well to hear it from our enemies if we refuse to hear it from G-d.
