Blaze Radio Network.

And now, the Rabbi Daniel Appen Show.

The more the world changes, the more we find comfort in the things that never change.

This is Rabbi Daniel Appen on demand, on the Blaze Radio Network.

Greetings, happy warriors, and welcome to the Rabbi Daniel Lapin show, where I, your rabbi, reveal how the world really works.

Thanks for being part of the show.

And today's show is going to be entitled music, morality and

mayhem and one other M I'll add to the mix is methylene dioxy methamphetamine.

That's right, methylene dioxin methamphetamine. That's right. Methylene, dioxy, methamphetamine, is a drug commonly known as

ecstasy. And, you know, it depends in what circles you move, but they say about a half a percent of the

world's population has used or is using methylene, dioxin,

methamphetamine, or ecstasy. So that means that if you see 200 people in the street,

at least one of them is or has used ecstasy. Now, of course, if you attend certain gatherings, well, the number goes

much higher. What sort of gatherings? Well, my mind and heart have been on the returning hostages

in Israel at the present time, and like so much of life, I find myself having to deal with

two conflicting feelings at the same time. And that's perfectly legitimate. We do often have to cope

with conflicted feelings at the same time.

One might be in mourning for the loss of some dear relative.

And at the same time, you could be watching your toddler play on the floor with a big grin on her face.

And, you know, you're filled with joy at one and you're filled with sadness at the other. And they both coexist at the same time. That is part

of what it means to be a human being. You can't always act. In fact, you probably very seldom can act in accordance with two conflicting themes at the same time,

but you can experience two conflicting thoughts or two conflicting emotions at exactly the same time.
