Beautiful Absurdity

"The world is absurd. Ugly absurd.
To repair ugly absurdity, you can’t just be normal. You need an alternative absurdity. A beautiful absurdity.
We call it “divine madness.”
-- Rebbe Tzvi Freeman

"At first glance the knee jerk reaction is ' Hey wait a minute. At the end of the sixth day G-d looked at the world and said that it was ' good. ' By that i figured 'good' was perfect because how would G-d create something imperfect.

Then i considered the context. Purim. G-d did not create the absurd madness of the minds of Amalek and Haman and those of that ilk or followers thereof. Purim is based on an absurd and ugly/demented mind, but G-d steps in via Mordechai and Esther to give us a chain/result of ' Divine Madness ' ... a ' beautiful absurdity '.

It's a terrific meditation we can take from Purim, how G-d takes our backs. On Purim He was timely for us. ( The trick is not to allow in thoughts of other events where His timing seems questionable. ) It's all about Purim, a time for joy and joyous meditation." -- Anonymous
