many times in life we thinks that the
things we everyone thinks that the
things that are happening in their life
are
bad people get stuck in the
moment if something bad happened in life
no question it's bad at least to you
it's bad to him it's bad to me it's bad
whatever is happening in your life
you're viewing it at that moment as bad
as long as you're viewing it only as
bad it means we still haven't learn this
mishna completely and the reason why is
because Hashem says I created the world
and I judged the world with goodness
meaning we learned from at the end
of everything that the merciful one does
everything that Hashem does is always
for the best
meaning there is no such thing as
bad there's no such thing as bad
everything he does is the best possible
thing that could ever
happen this throws our entire human
logic in the
garbage because first question you say
well how is cancer bad how is the
Holocaust how's how is cancer good how
is the Holocaust good how are the pgms
good how is BET mdash being destroyed
good how are all these bad things
good if everything that Hashem does is
the best meaning it has to be good in
order for you to be
best so if everything he does is for the
best that means that everything is good
how could everything be good if it's so
bad
how this is where we have to start
understanding our own
limitations due to us being human beings
meaning we're never going to fully
understand why hasem does what he
does
never rambam says to understand him I
have to be
him but we can understand being
parents now anyone that's a parent they
have a little kid would they ever tell
their little kid little seven eight nine
10 year old kid honey go do me a favor
pick up the car bring it in the house
like pick it up over your
head and bring it inside the
house no right why unless the kid's a
Incredible
Hulk they're not doing it why they're
not going to do it because they know
they can't so a parent that loves their
child is not going to give them anything
that they know they can't
do why because they don't want to see
their kid f
fail why because to see their kid fail
breaks their heart because they love
them and they only want the best for
their
kid every normal parent wants the best
for their child so to see the child fail
hurts the parent sometimes more than the
child to see the child go in the wrong
direction more times than not hurts the
parent more than the child and the
reason why is because the child while
he's making mistakes most of the times
doesn't think it's a
mistake he doesn't think that smoking a
little weed with his friends is a big
deal no IMA come on relax in your time
they didn't do it but in my day
everybody does it look they do it on TV
it's legal in
California in Connecticut in Colorado
and pretty much all of
America look they even have a holiday
for it
the kid doesn't think that smoking a
little weed is
Bad the kid doesn't think that having a
girlfriend at 14 or 15 years old is
Bad the kid doesn't think that having a
kid at 16 is
bad does think so he still lives with
IMA and ABA but his girlfriend just gave
birth he doesn't think it's
bad that he still doesn't even know what
earning a living is yet but he already
had a kid he doesn't know how to be a
kid but now he's a father he doesn't
think it's bad with there's anything
wrong with it because it's
cool the mom the Dad that says listen I
have some experience with it I'm telling
you it's not a good idea for you you're
too young you haven't matured yet you're
not ready to be a father you're not
ready to be a
mother you're not ready to handle the
consequences of what happens when you do
drugs you're not ready to handle the
consequence of what happens when the
cops catch you
you're not ready to handle the
consequence of what's going to happen to
the Future in 20 years when you still
can't get a job for getting caught one
time with a little bit of heroin you
still can't get a normal job why because
you had to spend some time in
jail and unfortunately the world today
they look at you based on your resume
resume says jail no one hires
you this is the reality it's the reality
of the world they live in not because
they're against the people that went to
jail it's not because of that
it's because there's so many better
options there's so many people that
didn't go to
jail there so many people that didn't do
drugs why would I pick the guy that went
to
jail when I had a company I looked at
people their resumes had hundreds of
resumes every
day and every have to look at resumes it
was like an employment company even
though it was an investment business but
you run a company you have you have to
look at
employees so I would interview these
kids and I'd ask them questions and by
the way 99% of all rums are complete
lies the person and the resume are not
the same thing they always say they know
things that they don't know they'll say
they like things they don't like the
only thing that's similar is the
name so that's his life business owners
know this is to be true this is not uh
just an insult to people it's it's true
it's what happens people lie in their
resumes because they trying to portray
themselves as better than what they are
because they figure that whatever they
are is not good enough to be hired
fine whatever it is what it
is but you look at these resumés now if
anyone says on their
resume I like to do drugs on the
side I went I spent three years in jail
I have a
record anything like
that you stop looking at the resumee you
crumble up into a nice ball you throw it
into the basket you hope that you make
it into the basket you go like this to
everybody say I got it and you go to the
next resume why because you have 99
other resumés of people that didn't go
to jail and didn't do drugs and didn't
have problems it's not nothing against
him there's nothing to do with
him it's just there's so many better
options this is what boggles my mind
sometimes when people make excuses of
why they failed
some people say it's because I was I
can't I was brought up poor some people
say it's because I'm black some people
say because I'm Spanish some people say
because I'm Jewish everyone has an
excuse of why they're not
succeeding you're not succeeding because
you're making too many
mistakes that's why you're not
succeeding if you let your color in the
way you're never going to succeed
because you let the color in away not
because of anybody
else if Obama achieved anything in his
life was the fact that he showed you you
could achieve anything you want even if
you don't know anything you've never
done anything and you've never said
anything right you can still become
president of the United
States if he did anything right in his
life he could show you without knowing
anything achieving anything you could
speak well you can be president of the
United States
so color didn't get in his way if
anything he celebrated it color didn't
get in the way of Jay-Z didn't get in
the way of P didy didn't get in the way
of all these celebrities that have
hundreds of millions of dollars and more
money than they can count didn't get in
their
way they used it to their
advantage but anyone that has has a
sense story to tell you we always have
an excuse oh I failed because I only had
one parent you know what so did many of
them oh I failed because I was broke oh
yeah did you have $35 left to your name
I did I still made $20
million $35 left in my pocket I had to
use it to survive for the next month
after I ran out of money I had to borrow
a dollar every day for six
months six months I have to borrow a
dollar from the kid Demetri so I could
eat and drink I could eat donut and
drink coffee that was my food for the
day that didn't stop me from being a
millionaire one
day the fact that I lost all of it later
on in life has nothing to do with it
point is didn't stop
me oh I'm an immigrant I was
too oh I didn't finish college I didn't
initially either oh it was hard so was
my job I started my day at 5:30 it
finished at 1:30 at some point I slept
because I couldn't close I couldn't open
my
eyes all this and all that everyone has
excuses your excuses are the only thing
getting in the way it's not your color
it's not your religion it's not anything
it's
you you're getting in your
way Hashem is telling
you while you're so busy getting in your
own way
way I'm going to do you a
favor when you get too far
off to the point
where you're going to a dead end
street I'm going to hit
you and the reason why I'm going to hit
you is because if I don't you'll arrive
at the Dead End Street and you can't
turn around there's no u-turn it's the
electric socket you can't go back from
the electric socket
so when you get a flat tire on the way
to a big meeting and you end up missing
the meeting it's only because hasem says
if I let you continue you would have
been part of that accident on the
highway if you would have made the
meeting you would have made the money
and then you would have used the money
to do things more things against me like
you've already done for the last 30
years so I didn't want you to at least
have that
money if you would have made the day you
would have married her and she's not
Jewish and that would have ruined the
rest of your
life if you would have made the Ze you
would have met him but he's really a
wife beater and he just looks
good and it would have destroyed
you there's many many things that happen
to us and we think are bad but in
reality if you believe in god of
Israel it's only good
only good he's doing you a favor even
though it looks
horrible you ask somebody listen why
does he make people
sick the easiest answer it's not
necessarily A one-sized fits all but the
easiest
answer is because everybody becomes
religious when they're
sick you go to the hospice center as I
learned from my dear friend Fidel
everybody believes in God there are no
atheists in the hospice
center there are no atheists on a
deathbed the biggest atheist will ask
the smallest Rabbi to give him a
blessing
sickness makes you realize that you're
mortal makes you realize you're not God
like you've been pretending to be for
the last 50
years so he's doing you a favor SOA is
telling us
here your choices
I know what you're going to do your
freedom I'm still going to give you even
though I know what you're going to do
I'm not going to get in your
way when you make the wrong choice the
world was judging goodness I'll give you
the option of doing chuva and everything
depends on the abundance of Good Deeds
remember I need the world to continue
existing you can't get to a point where
it's the 50th level of
tum you can't get to a point where it's
unrecoverable because I promise my son
Noah I'm not going to destroy the world
I promise my son
mosenu I'm not going to destroy the
world I promise my sons Abraham and yov
I'm gonna give their children the Torah
and the mashia mashiach is gonna save
them I made all these promises so don't
ruin it for me I can't let the world get
to a point where it's unrecoverable so
when you get to a point where you're the
one that's going to make that one extra
sin that takes everyone off the map I'm
GNA stop you I'm going to do you a favor
by stopping you even if that means that
I have to kill
you for
