Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)
The tiny breath that God invested in man makes the soul (our real “I”) into an ideal vector for the manifestation of the divine perfection. The human tragedies show how much challenges require creativity and enthusiasm to be overcome. God answers this necessity of perfecting this world by means of the victories and failures of man in whom he invested his breath of life. That breath - this divine particle - is what makes the greatness and perfection of man, however small and imperfect he is. “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14).
