44. "They" are Never the Problem!

To be honest, Moshiach is a really hard and uncomfortable topic to talk about, especially to people who are not yet frum! 
It's easy to talk about ideas like goodness and kindness and making the world a better place. 
It's easy to talk about our tradition, our history, and about concern for our strong Jewish future..
It's also relatively easy these days to talk about the beauty and meaning of most of the Mitzvos, and to discuss most fundamental deep concepts of Torah..
It all seems to be received with so much respect and appreciation. 

But as soon as we say the word Moshiach, there seems to be a kind of block. A feeling that people can't relate or take us seriously. A feeling that not only are we talking about something "religious", but that we're talking about some fantasy, some unrealistic dream. 

And it's understandable.
Besides that it's something none of us have ever seen or experienced, it's something that the last generation has already been disillusioned by.
The communist concept of "utopia" failed them terribly and people don't want to hear or believe anything that sounds similar..

But today's hayom yom reminds us that "they" are never the problem!
Because every Jew truly does believe and know it deep inside their heart! 
The fact that we don't see it is only a reflection of ourselves, and of our own desire and power to reveal what's hidden. 

If it's not easy for us to uncover another's faith in Moshiach, it only means that we need to look deeper into our own hearts and strengthen our own faith.
Because once we find our own inner confidence, we'll naturally be able to reach deeper into the depths of our fellow Jew, and uncover the spark of Moshiach hidden within them.
