What Really Matters

The biggest mistake I’ve made in life is berating myself mercilessly for being at odds with certain dogmas and tenets, or failing to live up to certain arbitrary social standards, when there is only one rule which really matters in the scheme of things:

My actions matter, not my system of belief or my appearance.

The Challenges of Modern Orthodoxy by Dr. Barry Freundel

Note: I am not Jewish, and I don't claim to understand all that is being discussed or the importance it might have to an Orthodox Jew. I was raised in a liberal Catholic household. I ended up an agnostic who believes in a higher power but doesn't claim to understand its nature. In my search for what truths there may be, I have enjoyed studying various faiths.

What the Rabbi discusses in this video seems to me to be more cultural than having to do with particular spiritual beliefs. He discusses the need to find common ground and the need for evolution within the culture. Extremism benefits nobody, and his arguments seem well thought out. The video is long, but I found it worthwhile.
