When I learned how the yidden in mitzrayim were so busy and overwhelmed by their slavery that they couldn't pay attention to Moshe's words telling them they'll soon be free, I remember thinking that it sounds so silly and ironic! How could they be too busy with their problems to hear about the solution?
But then I realized that I/we are making the same mistake today. We are so heavily drowned in the stresses of Golus that we don't have time or space in our heads to think about the Rebbe's words about Geulah. We're so worried about our immediate concerns, trying to deal with the here and now, to tackle one issue at a time, to make the "slavery" a bit easier, that we are too busy to concentrate on getting rid of the root of all our problems!
Let's spend at least a few minutes a day working towards and praying for the long term solution - the true and complete Geulah now!
