[Avodah] Ramban - Love your fellow as yourself

[rabbirichwolpoe at gmail.com]

To give this amodern spin:

Think of all humanity as leaves on a.  Bi.g tree.  Would one leaf be jealous of another?  Rather th ikkar is to get nourishment of the root/shoresh viz. Hkbh

Or if you will we are all sailors on a ship.  If we harm our dellow our own survival  is in jeopardy.   

Point:  our common good exceeds our uniqueness and it behooves to seek the geberal good over our own wgo based desires.  Fwiw bill clinton has preached a similar sermon many times.

However, our common good need not crush the individual.  Just crush our own egotism.
