'See, I place before you today a blessing and a curse.' Torah refuses to let us pretend our choices don't matter.
The parshah opens with a jarring word: re'eh, see. Not consider, not weigh, see. Look plainly at what is in front of you. There is a real path of blessing and a real path of its opposite.
Our culture is fond of nuance to the point of paralysis. Devarim believes in nuance too, but not as a way of avoiding the moment of decision.
This week, name one choice you have been softening. See it plainly. Then choose.
