Q: How can the bad be weeded out and turned to good? PART 2

Q: How can the bad be weeded out and turned to good?

Based on
Parsha Re'eh- "behold, look, see" 
Chabad of South Bay
 
The people wandered in the wilderness.
They faced the trials and tribulations introduced by harsh nature.
Little natural shelter was available for protection of the weak, young, and elderly.
There were no common comforts, but they still pressed on.

Slowly but surely they were taught new ways.
A new culture. 
One that broke the chains of their past slavery
and provided them with a new outlook on life:
-focus
-devotion
-rest
-honor
-peace
-honesty
-contentment...

THEY WERE COMMANDED TO LIVE IN THIS WAY NOW. 
NO MORE MASTER-SLAVE MENTALITY. 
THEY WERE HUMAN
NO LONGER ANIMALS.

Separation was key: Those who could follow and change were allotted more freedoms, 
and those who were stubborn were to be 
cut off. 
THERE WOULD BE NO FURTHER CONTAMINATION.

Blessings were obtained through learning and doing.
Curses were brought on by deviating from what they knew was the right path.

Those who were blessed were separated from the cursed ones...

THERE COULD BE NO MORE CONTAMINATION.

Many people suffer from their past. From the troubles passed down.
Q: How can the bad be weeded out and turned to good?
A: Focus on the journey
-fast
-meditate
-pray
-"wander"
-learn
- and then begin to prune away the bad from what is good. Separate it out slowly.
-DO
IN THE END, THERE WILL BE NO MORE CONTAMINATION.
