There is no human relationship until a relationship has broken down. As long as each fulfills the other's expectations, there is only a contract. There are no people, only transactions.
Once trust is breached, a new depth enters: The depth of the person. If there is truly a relationship—if it is the person inside that matters—then there is a search for forgiveness, for return and for healing.
So it was that within forty days of entering into a contract with the One Above, the Children of Israel sinned. And the soul below and the One Above discovered they could not part from one another.
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
