Shabbat gives us balance in life. The Torah teaches that we should always follow the middle path, not so much to the left or the right.
Some people just don’t know how to stop. They keep going and going without ever taking a rest making them compulsive and slaves to whatever they are doing and slaves to their instincts.
When we stop for Shabbat and make it a priority in our lives, what we are saying is that we are not an automatic compulsive being, instead we are human beings with a soul inside of us who also needs to be nurtured and loved.
If I am not able to stop for one day everything I normally do and switch to soul mode, what I am saying is that “I don’t control my life, instead my life controls me.”
