My message that day in part applies to not only the portion of the Torah we have studied, but also how we live our lives. On a daily basis, we should lead and involve ourselves in guiding our own lives. That may include the effect we have on others such as our friends, family, and acquaintances. G-d sits back observing, but will never let on that fate may be predetermined or predestined. We wake up, get dressed, and go forth in our own little way on our own schedule of activities.
Children have a certain lack of coping skills that mature as they grow.
We all assume that as an individual grows, so will their abilities. Some adults have shown me less skill in certain fields than even the youngest of children from time to time. There is much to be said about looking at something through the eyes of a child. In any event, we as adults try to make sense, or understand these changes, and make every effort to overcome these changes and grow from them. Often times that is easier said than done.
