The Colors of Longing

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach: "I want to hear what is this damn feeling. And I don't mean longing for a lover or for a job" He says in Judaism, people are asked six questions after they die that tell them how their life should have ended. In Buddhism, he says, boredom is really a form of suffering; it's a way where you're making contact with your suffering. The real pain is the pain of the shahina, and that's what we're trying to tap into, writes Boteach.
