Longevity and spiritual health Dear Rav Arush, Expanding on the discussion above,now that the population is living longer in the western world with the elimination, prevention and treatment of many diseases, what does this imply regarding our "spiritual health" today? One could argue that in Rebbi Nachman's time where tuberculosis (known as "consumption" because of its horrible suffering)was rampant, and the expected life span was less than age 50 at most, the spiritual level of people was lower than today. Please explain.
