BESHALACH: The Long Hard Way or Shortcut to Dead End| STUMP THE RABBI (259) https://youtu.be/0-NQb2_8fXkIt's not unique or surprising that in the age of instant gratification, people choose the Short Easy Way instantaneously.

In life we are often preparing for different events for months or years, only to find out that it was all unnecessary, since HaShem chose a different way. Through the verses and the stories of past times, we will learn more about why our past was the way it was, in hopes to be more prepared for the future.
