When We Damage Ideas

10/24/2019

by Rav Avraham Yitzchak Kook

                When we damage ideas, when we distance ourselves—as a result of immersing [ourselves] in the smallness of routine life—from the elevation of supernal thoughts, which create deeds that are great and contain hidden within themselves powerful Godliness, [those] deeds become damaged.
                Their level sinks and their glory is dimmed, until they are revealed in an unruly form that arouses irritation and blankness, whereas before [the deeds’] natural clothing was might and glory.
                And when the deeds are damaged, ideas grow distant, until they become a sort of weak thought, which arouses the disdain of every man of action, because it is so far from life and has so little strength to affect [life].
Shemonah Kevatzim I 7

Innovators are really great. I wish that I can be a person who can innovate as well. I am a pretty weird person, and I am not really that creative. I think that I do have what it takes, but I am still looking for a way to do it. I am hoping for something great to happen, especially in this career that I have. I want to turn the entire world upside down with my innovative ideas, I really do.
