Portion Tzav Priests and Love and Order Or Jealousy and Resentment?

Portion Tzav    Priests and Love and   Order   Or Jealousy and Resentment?
 
 
So how did the Relationship between Kohanim and Levites express itself over the thousands of years of our history?
 
And what about today?
 
I'm Israel today the priests bless everyone at morning prayer!
 
Rabbi Miller suggested that maybe in our past there was sometimes resentment against the Temple Caste who were supported by everyone else.
 
I believe on the other hand
 
 that since the Priest -     jobs in   - was also the Doctor and maybe also the scribes (lawyers)    
 
And also since the tithes  like modern taxes were equal 
 
and Based on how much your farm produced 
 
and Equality was the General Rule!!!
 
that except under crooked rulers ... 
 
things were probably pretty positive!
 
And Today what does that point to?
 
We need to act and Work on the side of love and order 
 
Between Each Other!
 
And avoid whatever negatives are broadcast from political disputes that
 
Look for ways to raise our blood pressure 
so that
Politicians can act on us like Media Moguls to their own enrichment!
 
Spread the love and order like it says of Aron the High Priest.
 
 
Question is based on an idea from Rabbi Avigdor Miller as discussed with  H Baron on Purim.
 
 
 
 
Shabbat Shalom from Rainy New York
