One who looks for a friend without faults will have none

-Hasidic Proverb

The number of people who end up in full surprise mode after waking up to the earth from a magical and fabulous event. A ticket to heaven was not supposed to change a person’s address. Eternal life has earthly realities that are the only ways to witness. Heaven needs neither gospel nor law.
