"G-d does not demand or expect perfection"

         

I have heard many times that a person claims if he can't do all the laws he won't do any.  This is a noble attempt by someone to rationalize their lack of religiosity.  They claim they don't want to be a hypocrite.  It is this "all or nothing" attitude that causes people to make silly decisions.
         This attitude is born from the major misconception that G-d demand or expects perfection in our serving him.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  There is no way that any Jew could keep all the commandments in the Torah.  We can only keep them all as a Jewish nation living in Israel with a king ruling over us.
          Another proof of G-d not demanding perfection, is the fact, that one of the commandments is the law of "teshuva-repentance".  The one thing this law informs us is that in order to fulfill its you must  first sin.
         Therefore to all our Jews will use this silly rationale of "all or nothing" I say stop fooling yourselves and began doing something for G-d, even if only a little bit.  Everything you do will serve you well and you would be amazed at how good you will feel!!!
