[Avodah] Cave or Desert Island?

[Richard Wolpoe]

it seems to me taht the best result for self-perfction is to be a hermit in
a cave of Sedert Island
No issue of LH ribbis ,etc. No hemda, et.c no issue of bein adam lahaveira
to worry about at all
Plus one can spend Gazillions of hours in studying Mussar and achieve
monumental levels of self-perfection?
Why didn't HKBH stick with Moshe at the Sneh? Why bother with a nation at
har Sinai?  Hkbh could have worked on perfection Moshe as an indvidual Guru
of mamoth proportions w/o having to worry about the oligistics of a mation
[navol tibol indeed!]
Why bother with masses - filled with temptations to speak LH  [Miriam - kal
vachomer US!]
Hashme should have given the Torah to saintly individuals - He SHOULD have
revealed to a guru lhavdil like th Buddha or MOhammed - some individual wh
ocoud be a role model  Why bother with peoplehood at all!

For example, if a Jew is in a cave - would he bet tempte like Korach to be
jealous of a Kohein Gadol? Of course not!  There is no jealousy when the
Torah is applied in total isolation! NO competition, no kin'ah!

It's pil'ei P'lai'im that HKBH did not introduce Torah the way other
religiions were introduced, viz. privately to gurus. Hmmm

[And they say sarcasm does NOT work in cyberspace. Let's see!]
