We are not trying to escape this world, but rather to engage it. We are not to reconcile ourselves to a future world or alternate reality that is more blissful or more loving. We are enjoined to ground ourselves in compassion and justice and from that realization, work and struggle to pull the world towards a more perfected place.
Rabbi David Ingber on Parshat Vayishlach.
