Reconciliation or Confrontation: Torah Portion-Vayishlach

Reconciliation, confrontation?

What will it be, when, where and for how long?

Can human nature, then, be won over?

Two sons from the same parents part in peace.

 

Thus, what lessons can be learned from the past

That will augur present security?

Various scenarios must be prepared

In a world of constant variables.

 

The future depends on recognition

Of character traits and transformation

Of unexpected new circumstances,

Awaiting responses for survival.

 

No chance for the future can be neglected

With all talk out of the proverbial box.
