There is an old Jewish story about a man in the late 1800s who visited his rabbi before leaving Europe for America. Rabbi, asks the man, What is life all about? And the rabbi answers, Life is like a mountain. The man leaves for America and for the next ten years torments himself to understand the depth and the meaning of his rabbis words. Finally, he can bear it no longer; he purchases a ticket and sails back to Europe to beseech his rabbi for the meaning of the elusive comparison. Rabbi, he pleads, What do you mean, Life is like a mountain? And the rabbi replies, So, nu, ... maybe life isnt like a mountain?... What is life? I saw the following piece tacked to a cork board: What is Life? Life is a challenge ... meet it. Life is a gift ... appreciate it. Life is an adventure ... dare it. Life is a sorrow ... overcome it. Life is a duty ... perform it. Life is a game ... play it. Life is a mystery ... unfold it. Life is a song ... sing it.
