Moral+Religious=Success.

This semester we've been learning about things that things that make us immoral and acts that go against Hashem and his religious laws. We've learned the importance of not just being a moral person, and not just being a religious person, but the importance of combining the two to become the ideal person that you can be, and create an ideal, just society. I agree with this. Although personally I think that being a moral person is more important than being a religious one, I think that we can take ideas from our religious practices to guide us to becoming a moral person. Although there are things, like Chukot, that we don't exactly see a reason for, but we can understand a lot of things and see that they can clearly have a pathway to our moral lives.

No one person is perfect, it's impossible. You're always hearing the famous line "nobody's perfect," but you never stop to realize how true it is. Obviously, if we know that this famous line is true then G-d does too. I do not think for one second that G-d expects us to be perfect, but I think that He does expect us to try, and make an effort. We're constantly being told that Hashem sees the genuineness behind our mitzvot so I think that if Hashem sees us making strides towards becoming morally just people and more religious, and Hashem sees that we are doing the best that we could possibly do then we are technically fulfilling our obligations. We need to do the best that we can do and constantly push ourselves to become better, and eventually we will finally reach our end goal and society will be as ideal as ever.
