Because Why Not.

“The words ‘guard’ and ‘remember’ were said at once at Har Sinai; Hashem, our God, miraculously allowed us to hear them together.”

The cause of it all
Is infinite possibility

An open mind
 
To do so
Guard your decisions
By remembering that
It is all undecided
 
There, it’s decided
