How we all can benefit from the Wisdom of The Jews.
Their elder Moses laid down the ground rules of living based totally on the moral code of Mother Nature - Wisdom! Their moral values are based on pure wisdom. Their way of life is based on wisdom. And it is amazing that what even the Buddha often said was said in the language of Mother Nature, in the universal code that is not easily understood. Moses translated the universal moral laws of the universe in plain words. He said it all, all in, 'The Ten Commandments'. Moses gave us the wisest secret to a perfect life, not only for individuals but also for groups and countries. Understand the Ten Commandments and you understand life. Follow The Ten Commandments and you will become your full potential. Base your constitution on The Ten Commandments and your group or nation will be the very embodiment of life and her bounties. The American Constitution is a perfect example.
The qualities of Jewish wisdom are well know. They just don't learn they research. For the job at hand if high school knowledge is required they will make themselves ready with post graduate knowledge. While emotional intelligence education has come into vogue recently their Holy Texts have been teaching practical intelligence since ever; which every Jew uses in daily living. No wonder as a group they are amongst the top cream of humanity.
Throughout history no people have suffered as much as the Jews. Whole villages have been taken from them and they are made to move on with little. Yet every time they come out on the top. Why? Because you may take away all their land. You may take away all their possessions yet you cannot take away their wisdom, you cannot take away their education from their Torah. Each time they are down they do not react they act according to wisdom. There are many great things about the Jewish Mind. I would like to point out just three attributes as follows:
1) They fully understand the constructive powers of love and they equally understand the destructive powers of hate.
Entering love in your mind means you are also bringing in respect, relaxation, confidence, understanding, hope, calmness, peace, happiness etc., etc., even the urge to forgive. Love creates preparation for life, for birth and prosperity.
Entering hate means you are also bringing into your own mind anger, confusion, guilt, jealousy, frustration, despair etc. and an urge for revenge. Hate creates preparation for war, death and destruction.
So every time their lives were destroyed by hate they painstakingly reconstructed their lives with love. Wow! What Divine wisdom! Imagine what would happen if they had taken the path of hate. Hate would have entered their minds along with his underlings destroying their own minds and bodies. In their planning for revenge they would have less time for reemerging on the top.
2) Through out history the Jews were surrounded with dark clouds. So instead of surrendering to these dark clouds or trying to over come them through fighting back they decided to win through wisdom!(Remember a permanent real victory is by way of wisdom, by way of knowledge and by way of love). So instead of looking at the dark cloud they looked at the silver lining of the dark cloud. The dark cloud was not the people it was their ignorance and the silver lining was the fact that ignorance can be replaced with knowledge. Just imagine their enemies killing them and taking all their belongings and yet the Jews did not take them as their enemies. They took them as fellow human beings whose real problem was ignorance.The world was living in ignorance. The world needed knowledge. The world needed stability in finance. The world needed freedom from disease, freedom from hunger, freedom from poverty. So their elders decided, 'What if we open a knowledge factory where we will be the producers of knowledge and all these numerous people will be in effect be the beneficiaries. We will help improve their lives. We will bring them life freedoms. We will make them healthy and prosperous. We will make them trust their money in our banks. We will in short make ourselves indispensable for our enemies. Eventually they will depend on us so much that we will all become one family with us as part of the upper cream of this family. So we will destroy their hate through wisdom, through love, through knowledge. Through our Torah.' Imagine the world without the Jewish Knowledge Factory. No wonder there are more Noble Prize winners amongst Jews then any other group. It should come as no surprise that those countries that treat the Jews as equals are at the top of the economic ladder and those that...
3) Globalization is a pretty recent phenomena. We are now all part of the global village. The Jews have been a global people since the ancient times. They are the ones who initiated globalization. Their wisdom is a part of every nation's wisdom collective.In fact even their genes are the most diverse amongst all the races/groups.
