When we first meet the Amal he is very exciting and enthusiastic about creating, building and helping the world. His whole goal and purpose is to improve the world. He is aware that he can not do it by himself so he says two are better then one and three are even better, the more the merrier. Since he is the king he has the ability to make all the people help his mission. However, he couldn't. He therefor comes to the conclusion that if he, the king couldn't do it then no can do it and it won't happen.
He falls very quickly from wanting to make the word a perfect place to well I don't really think its possible anymore. He know thinks whats the point in life if we loose everything and we can't do things perfectly.
It seems a lot like the Amal is giving up. Did it ever occur to him that just because he tried and failed it doesn't mean that other people couldn't try again? Maybe one try isn't enough. He seems so devoted to this at the beginning but once he tries and fails, he's done. If he really felt strong about this he would have kept trying because giving up is week and is the last thing anyone should ever have to do.
I was thinking the same thing. How could someone who is so dedicated to making an impact just give up?
ReplyDeleteMost of the time we say that nothing is impossible, but perfecting the world is. The world isn't meant to be perfect. Hashem made it that way. Maybe the Amal finally came to that realization.
