Why are we still fond of soccer? After such incident ( see a pic) that match must be canceled, a Netherlands butcher gets thrown in jail and the whole game of soccer is denounced and condemned. Just kidding.
According to kabbalists, what’s important is not the game of soccer, but that a person receives pleasure from life. And this pleasure, of course, comes from the Creator. There are many parables like this. If a person’s point in the heart – the yearning for the Creator – hasn’t surfaced yet, then he exists in exile from spirituality, even without being aware of it. As long as he is in this state, he enjoys the small pleasures of this world, called “a weak glow.”
