When one is in a state of great joy or, contrastingly, in great distress - and filled with a tremendous need to turn to the Master of the world and accept to improve one’s actions - this feeling is not a falsification but an authentic expression of our true will; a kind of lightning bolt that illuminates the darkness for a split second; therefore, we anchor this in a practical commitment – so that this feeling does not 'run away from' us after the event fades.
Take it upon yourself, without a vow, to correct one thing in your life, and these days will work their true action - to add goodness in the world. And once all this is over - this is what will remain.

Various Events FOR WHOM NOT TO VOTE
Rav Zvi Yehuda Kook stressed that Israeli politics is G-dly, so I have no problem answering this common question on a Torani blog. Also, Free-Will is a G-d-given right and obligation, to "destine one's fate" (R. Soloveichik, Kol Dodi Dofek, 67), so I obviously don't tell others how to vote. But once not a few (especially young) have already asked, a couple of personal words from experience and thoughts from chazal & Rav Kook which may be of help to others, mainly for whom NOT to vote.
