Love Is The Motive...
It is a singular force that drives us like no other. The sages teach that the highest level of serving God is serving Him with Love. It is the motivation throughout our waking moments, what keeps us going, what takes us on to the next day, and is one of the most powerful tools known to Man. It has the power to heal like a soothing balm, and the ability to crush and destroy if misused. We must learn how to utilize this tool, and unite all of world Jewry, and ultimately, the world. Then we will experience Tikkun Olam, and our exiles will be gathered in Peace. So go ahead, make your own credo; finish off that line of thought. Love Is The Motive...

I always woondered how much Shovevim was shaped by the mood of the season. People in poor housing in cold climates would lose children and elderly people during these months, far more than the rest of the year. The scariness and darkness of the period motivates teshuvhah.
