We can learn something from everything. When we look at seashells (because majority of us have been on vacation for Pesach), we can say that they look like the crabs with the shells. These crabs are really cool, because when they are scared they run inside their little shells and disappear. 
The same thing is with a Jew. A jew is born with a spiritual shell, a Neshama, that guards the person forever. However, everytime a Jew G-d forbid goes against Hashem, this "shell," the Neshama HaKdosha that is connected to Hashem, is cut up and taken away from the person. In a time of fear, in a time of help, the Jew relies on his actions, his spiritual actions to be exact, to "save" him from whatever danger. This crab relies entirely on his shell, its his protection, his life, his home.
We need to change our lives just to focus on our Neshamot, to help guard it, because then it guards us. The only way we can achieve this goal of gaurding ourselves is by "feeding" the Neshama, just like we feed our bodies. Just like we need to eat 3 times a day, we also need to pray 3 times a day. Just like we need to get parnasa and earn money, so too we need to learn Torah and make sure our financial level of our Neshama is stable. We can never stop, because if we do we are like crabs without shells, like Goyim without Neshamot.
We are different. We can't run away from the Torah, we cannot run away from our Father in Shamayim who loves us so much! We need to turn around and always think about the future.


Is my shell strong? Can I really rely on my home, on my shell, on my safety, on my Neshama? Do I feed my Spiritual self? Do I believe that I am a Neshama in a body or a body with a Neshama?
