Mariam heard of a lady who was berated after declining to go to a social event after suffering bereavement. It was apparently expected of the lady that she leave this shattering experience to one side and attend the event. Mariam was nonplussed.
She told the Rabbi, "It would seem that the person requiring this is . . ."
Rabbi Jesus answered, "A master of the unrealistic expectation."
It is important to acknowledge and show compassion for the sufferings of others.
