The application of the third commandment today is to accurately relate to life’s events. I suggest writing a new glossary of concepts:
Rain in the Land of Israel is not a "storm" or "Hurricane Barbara" but winter weather; thank God.
Terrorist attacks are not "the end of the state" but painful events that challenge us to grow even more; may God help us.
Traffic jams are not a "holocaust" but a delay longer than planned for our trip; may we be led to peace.
A group of screaming people is not a "civil war" but a minority that should be related to accordingly; like dust in the wind.
Left-wing media do not "set the country's agenda", but rather a small, bitter group living in its own bubble; it will be completely replaced.
An earthquake in Turkey is not a "sign from heaven" of "Armageddon", but a natural disaster that God is giving us the wisdom to prepare for properly and minimize damage; Who performs the work of Creation.
Do not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, and you will see that life is much more beautiful.
The bad will pass.
The good will prevail.
With God's help.

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.
