The Talmud teaches us that we should always see ourselves--and the entire world--as equally balanced between merits and transgressions. Do one single mitzvah NOW, and you save yourself and the entire world! Do one single transgression NOW, and....well....you fill in the blank. We are presently in the 10 Days of Return (teshuva) that culminate in the holy and sacred day of Yom Kippur, day of atonement. These are days of judgment, when our lives are hanging in the balance. Let's not be scared by this awesome thought, let's get inspired to TIP THE SCALE (together) with good deeds and words that can bring life and salvation for us and this beautiful world!!
