Men love false appearances and fear what is uncomfortable to accept.
Chassidic Kabbalah Jews feel good about themselves in loving God.
But is it true love?
To love something or someone you need to embrace all aspects about them, even their flawed or unsavoury ones.
Like loving and helping a blind child because they need you even though it is difficult and tiring to help disabled people.(For most people at least)
Would most people give up going to clubs and meeting new abled friends who are fun to hang out with over those in need and instead help disabled people?
Truth is not a matter of what you like or find easy to accept. Truth is a matter of what simply is.
Even Einstein who had an extremely high IQ did not find himself able to accept Quantum Physics because he simply didn't like it.
Jews love the Creator aspect of God, they say "let there be light, let there be life".
But they fear the Destroyer aspect of God and cannot except the fact that God has the power to Destroy the Universe. They reject the Hindu metaphysical theology that God might, just might, some day, ultimately Destroy this entire Universe.
They say "if God didn't want this Universe to exist, He wouldn't have Created it in the first place".
But can we read the mind of God? Who are we to decide what God wants to do and doesn't want to do? The mysteries of existence is an enigma only conceivable to the Omniscient, Infinite Intelligence before whom we are utterly helpless.
If we are co-creators of this world as partners of God in terms of how God shapes this world as Kabbalah Jews say.
I agree that our embodied existence in this world and our thoughts, desires and deeds play a part in the grand scheme of the drama of the Universe which God controls.
But are we the main characters?
Then does God want you to turn to Him in prayer for every little thing? Why does God not give us everything we desire fully and permanently?
Why does God answer only some prayers and not others? Why do we even need to pray in order to even receive something in the first place? Why is man helpless and fully dependent upon God?
Why? Because they(Jews) enjoy life, they want to live, as much as they are mature of the concept of Death and prepare for it, the concept of Universal dissolution frightens them.
This isn't a criticism of Jews per se, this is a mind sobering realization of people who are ignorant.
Life is different for different people, some people live better than others, there is inequality in this world as much as you try to solve this, no one can guarantee anything with absolute certainty, no man can fulfill everything that he wants and desires even within the limited scope of his ephemeral existence. We wake up everyday not knowing completely what the day presents to us. We don't know why we succeed in some actions and not others.
This reminds me of Yudhisthira's words
Question: what is the greatest wonder?
Yudhishthira: everyday people wake up not knowing when death will strike them but live obliviously as if they are immortal
Question: what is the greatest defeat?
Yudhisthira: Victory is the greatest defeat.
Explanation: we act in this world as if we are Omnipotent even though we are not,(we want to do something because we think we can achieve it) and even though we have experienced failures in the past, we never seem to have the fatigue of trying to fulfill the effects of our actions, even though our intent to act is even determined by our environment in the past and what we foresee in the future in the first place as though our actions shape the world which we are limited to in the first place and it is all a matter of probability meaning our actions are successful only if God allows for them to be so, as God controls the entire Universe at all times.
Therefore success based upon our own so-called independent actions is an illusion.
Finally remember the Old Testament is replete with parts about God chastising and punishing the Jews for being stubborn and disobedient.
