Page 187. What lies at the root of my need for pleasure? The promise of the ultimate pleasure "eden" in olam habah (the world to come) is, for many, not enough anymore to keep us wanting to perform mitzvos. The difference between achrayus (responsibility) and chiyus (life force) / pleasure. How not to motivate our young children and adolescents. Mussar (reproach) the old way simply doesn't work anymore and just turns the kids off. Different expectations depending on the time, place and generation. Nowadays we have to talk directly about the Ribonoh shel olam (Master of the world). The danger of misunderstanding the Mesilas Yesharim's words. Hashem did not create us so that we live an entire life and then trade in our mitzvos at the end like a child hands in his tickets at the counter in the aracde. Since it is very hard to come into contact with the neshamah (soul), it is sometimes difficult to experience the greatest pleasure; therefore, how do we conduct ourselves in this world?
