Ying Yang Question -  How can you be Free AND a servant!? 

OK ... so we have freedom to do; and yet we are bound? 

      {Check out 1 Cor. Chap 9}

It’s like this. We are free to love others as we have the mitzvah to do so, and we can take certain liberties to love others (e.g. showing love with words, actions, kindness, and good works) . The caveat is that we should don’t compromise ourselves. You’re free to do things, but not to the point that it hurts your relationship with Gd. It’s better to refrain if you think that it will harm the relations between you and HaShem. For example, if you know that you personally couldn’t care less about going to the Western Wall to daven (pray), and you’re feeling totally indifferent to that action, you’re certainly free not to go, but at the same time, you should feel deeply the mitzvah to love others and be in with them. The Aibishter (the most High) really likes it when you make an effort to connect, level with, and love others even if you don’t really feel like it. That’s how there’s this ying yang balance. In a good relationship, we don’t have to do everything that we like and because we feel like it. We just should be doing it - and all of the other positive features of having done it will arrive to you, and you’ll be feeling those after-effects. And, if not, do what’s good anyway.    

So, gain closeness with others. It’s ok to be flexible to show love to others. It doesn’t affect your authenticity. Imagine that you’re an atheist, and you really don’t like this whole Gd stuff, but you still want to be loving. Well ... feel free to go into Shuls, Churches, and Mosques and the like, to love on other people, understand them, and grow to care.  Our Gd has a big heart, and by obtaining this yin yang “being a servant and being free” balance, you’ll gain one too.  

Connecting with others is to love them. Give to them. Speak to people on their level. 

Don’t break yourself or your relationship with HaShem, but feel free to be flexible to show that you care to other people.
