Power of Listening and Learning Tanach: Shaarei Teshuva 2:12-13 with Rabbi Aaron Dovid Poston

[Music] welcome back to the charlie chuva cabora rabbino yona oh what can i do what can we do we have to chuva i mean we just look at the state of affairs whether it's the israeli political political situation whether it's anti-semitism whether it's just corruption all around everywhere everywhere you look uh hatred right we have to start with ourselves right and the whole world will change and that's bazrat hashem we are in chapter two called sharp bet and we're going to be dealing with paragraphs 12 and 13 bizrat hashem just to you know before i mention what we're doing here i just want to mention that what we have done in the past right we had discussed this idea of how musser and criticism should be embraced so we're going to deal tonight today with the idea of having rebuke given to you or also giving yourself rebuke so before we start i want to mention this class is dedicated to the refugee leima of ropinto yoshiyahu ben yosev ben zakri now i want to mention the word yoshiyahu is a name and we're going to deal with it today in tanakh it's going to be an amazing piece so again for those who are with us in the same book the same safer we're on page 163 okay and i mentioned it's paragraph 12. welcome back everybody here we go so now we're going to talk about a verb a verse in michele the truth is there's two verses and romano yonah wonders and everybody reading it should also wonder what the first part of the verse first verse it's in proverbs chapter 15. it's verses 30 and now 30 just seems remember we're talking about the wisest man who ever lived that's king solomon and michele proverbs is full of wisdom and rebuke what in the world does verse mean and we will delve into that especially in relationship to verse 31 so let's read them together it says like this that means the light of the eyes will cause the the heart to have joy that means uh well what's the good tidings when you hear something good it fattens the bone i mean what does that mean well let's read the next verse and we'll have to delve into it the ear that hears rebuke now what is rebuke anyway they use the word reproof maybe that's even a better term to translate it it means to prove to someone who you're speaking to or you're trying to convince that there's a better way right that you have love and concern for whatever behavior or you know pattern that they're involved with with and that there's a better way there's actually maybe what they're doing is even harmful and you want to show them that there is a way that will not be harmful right you want to convince them of a better way i think that's the best way to describe you want to prove to them that there's a better way not that they're wrong and they should be punished right but there's a better way and it has to be done out of love so the ear that listens to life-giving reproof because i skipped the poison it's about life you want to prove to them a better way of life that means the person should reside amongst again what is the first part in verse 30 the light of the eyes gladdens the heart good tidings fatten the bone okay so let's begin yes right so these just know these two verses don't seem or let's say the first of these two verses do not seem to contain any moral lesson but he begins by telling you yes yes anyone who's wise [Music] there's no way it's not at all possible that king solomon would have put words that don't have any meaning especially right it cannot possibly be the different they're meaningless words um trivial matters but moosa the year at hashem because you'll see throughout michele throughout proverbs it's chock-full of moral lessons right words of rebuke and or let's say striking you with all so you would have a proper fear of hashem that's basically the makeup of the book so it can't be for naught it can't be for nothing [Music] we already know the verse mentions to us this is in first kings chapter 5 verse 11 it says the regarding king solomon he was the wisest man of all he was wiser than all men okay who's the wisest man who ever lived so how can it be that that first verse remember we're talking about proverbs chapter 15 verse 30 has no real meaning in terms of moosa yes what does it mean the light of the eyes gladdens the heart good tidings fatten the bone so he says ready this is going to be the resolution the compromise i know it really means the resolution uh pressure dover and we're going to understand what these light of the eyes and good tidings are all about it the ribeno yonah tells us that it leads into the next verse the next verse as we said was mayur anayam the light of the eyes is that will cause the heart to be overjoyed overjoyed either the eye is a very precious commodity it's a very precious organ unfortunately we do not i mean i shouldn't say we many of us do not appreciate what the eye can do uh i said yeah you can go to like a national geographic certain science magazines or whatever and you could just marvel at the amazing miracle that the eye and the eye does and we enjoy looking at the beauty of the world with that and it gives us inten immense pleasure you know i sit on the bench with my wife and we just look at the colors in the trees and the flowers and the colors it's amazing [Music] okay so it's a very precious organ right just looking using your eyes the ability to see actually does glad in the heart now this is interesting because this idea is that the ear is actually more precious than the eye now we may not appreciate that but when you hear like a hallucic aspect you'll understand what happens we're saying that it fattens the person's bone what does that mean that not only is the ear or hearing better more precious than the eyesight but somehow it adds to this uh fattening of the bone shambo hergusha velouya dashoon bilti batanoog okay so a body part cannot feel and therefore cannot be fattened in other words he's really questioning what does that first part mean right which would be a relatively minor pleasure provided by the light of the eyes but only with more intense pleasure such as hearing good tidings okay so this is like a superficial aspect maybe you look and you see colors and you see things but when you hear good tidings that's a more immense or intense pleasure so now we're going to talk about a halachic aspect hopefully this never happens to anybody but we have to know the halakhah so why should the listening of the ear be more i don't know uh have a higher value let's say so the say this is in the shock and why not this that actually the ear or the hearing is considered more uh pleasure more valuable precious actually it's more precious than any other organ meaning over the eye because if you god forbid let's say somebody blinded someone else they took out their eye shame seems a no no say low to me a no so by the way just keep in mind when it says in the torah an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth it never was never you know i don't know where these people came up with the idea i guess because it's black and white it says an eye for an eye tooth for tooth that if somebody knocked out someone else someone's dying that that limb should be removed from that person or they cut off someone's hand and you the result the punishment would be cutting off the person's hand that's not at all what the toy ever meant there are actually five types of financial um compensation that is given on account of damages now those damages could be emotional they could let's just go through them you're talking about the physical damage to replace what you broke there's a compensation financial compensation there could be unemployment there could be health what do you call medical medical issues right paying doctors hospital bills whatever equipment and then there's a um thing called emotional like a lot when you shame somebody in public when somebody is does libel right they they lie about somebody or they cause someone harm in public now i can't let me go through them again because i i know there's five right you're talking about the actual damage for the the item that you damaged we're talking about unemployment we're talking about um unemployment we're talking about the health we're talking about the emotional the emotional damage why am i catching a blank anyway if anybody wants to write in a comment uh in the future uh i i'll maybe it'll come to me i taught this already twice today and it i didn't get it wrong then but right now i'm catching a blank so anyway there are five types of compensation but the word i and i in which the torah actually says what is the word mean it means underneath we translate it and it does mean instead of that's true words have many meanings and more than just one a i under an eye in other words if you take the out the alphabet the uh the aleph net and you take the letter that's underneath i you'll come up iron the letter that comes after right you have a pay the letter that comes after yud is a cuff the letter that comes after the nun is a samakh it spells maybe not in that order you can just move the letters around kasef kasim means money right that's just a drush but of course the talmud discusses this is the way it always was we are not barbarians all right the question is based on what value so there's many discussions about how to evaluate is it based on the the criminal the the the person who caused the damage what would it cost me that not to have my eye taken out remember what if the person was let's say a piano player and you damaged his hands so maybe his hands are worth a lot more you have to pay a lot more compensation okay and there's another way to value it that if you were a slave to be sold on the market what would be the decrease in value based on the physical damage or what right um okay so that's another idea let's go on why would the ear be more precious than the eye well the truth is that it is more precious because it enables one to hear good tidings another question i asked my students this morning was where is now these were a group of men right where is your heart so everyone all the guys point to where their head that's where their heart is right here okay so we all know the physical heart is right here right the ears are surrounding that spot which we'll call the heart for practical purposes the physical heart believe it or not i mean everybody knows this right especially from philadelphia and you went to the franklin museum right the heart is pumping the the oxygen through the whole body and we all know right i mean when does death occur at some point obviously when you're not breathing but also there's an aspect of brain dead i mean when you cannot think i mean when there's no more oxygen it's going to create tremendous damage it should never happen to anybody i think that if some god forbid someone is in cold water that there's a possibility that they can last a little longer okay i'm not a doctor i'm not trying to suggest anybody even tried this at home i'm just saying that if the heart itself is what pumps the blood and the oxygen into the brain so there's a direct connection between the heart and the brain but for all practical purposes we talk about the soul is it in the heart or is it somewhere over here anyway i just wanted to use this to point out that it there is something between the ears there is trust me there really is something between the ears and uh it's basically related to the heart okay so i know you got you bought that i know the women are listening there's no way man the heart's right here but okay it's related they're connected in a big way right through uh big vessels right big blood vessels okay shame bargasha love you darshan keep this in mind that a body part cannot really feel right and therefore cannot be fattened on account of a relatively minor pleasure provided by the light of the eyes but only with more intense pleasure such as the hearing of good tidings i know that this sits well with everybody now the fazal tell us that um the ear the origin is nikpa okay right there okay the shame seems that's the that's where i left off that if god forbid somebody blinded somebody they only pay them for the damage of the eye here no usain but if god forbid somebody caused somebody to become death they pay the whole value of the person now that should give us a little bit of insight to the value of the sense the sense right we have different five senses again i don't know what they all are right but let's just say we're dealing with sight and hearing right now and sight it's someone god forbid damaged someone's sight so they would pay only for the again the the discrepancy and the value of the site of the eye that was lost whereas if it was hearing they would pay the entire value of the human being you have to admit why is that because it's certainly more valuable period question is in what way okay so here we have it and we're going to deal with tokhaka because the first part is having or receiving from someone else the second part we're going to deal with is self uh rebuke making an efficient being completely honest with yourself even when someone else comes to you and gives you rebuke you have to be honest with yourself right what is the first i shouldn't say the first reaction for most people let's say some people the first reaction for some people is to kick and rebel and say who are you you're telling me i have a a toothpick sticking out of my head you have a beam sticking out of your head who are you to tell me right i mean there's a lot of ego right we're human beings we're flesh and blood but we should learn to love rebuke at least to keep your mouth shut and think about the possibility this person could be right or i'll think about it i can always react later right and tell him he's got a big beam coming out of his head or her head but okay first thing to do is to know that this is for your benefit and remember it has to be done out of love the the one giving rebuke out of concern and um basically they don't just come up and say i know this is what you did it's better to be done with concern a soft tone to say look i'm not even sure this happened is it possible possibly this is what happened and not only that if it did can you explain to me why because it appears a certain way maybe that's not what happened let the person talk because you may have the whole situation all wrong which um unfortunately with a fortune unfortunately happens a lot of times and if you don't do it right you're gonna cause more problems in fact it's better not to give it if you have any doubts that you might not succeed in being heard find someone else who's more effective right okay let's go on we get up in the morning we wash our hands we get up and we wake awaken them the dawn right like king david awaken the dawn shmitah negri tommy and i'm going to place hashem before me always because my whole purpose of creation is to serve hashem so okay so you serve him with all of your organs with all of your your limbs from right you're gonna that's why god fashioned you the way he did he created you with this so you could serve him there is a pursuit there's a verse in proverbs chapter 16 verse 4. hashem lama that all of hashem's creations he made for his sake so if he created us he created us to serve him now serving him does not mean it sounds complicated but it's he wants the best for us he's giving us all the opportunities to correct our character the villenegon says the purpose of creation is tikkun hamidot to fix our character and it's all in order so god can give us the greatest reward for doing that okay keep this in mind this is the general principle that a person is all the more obligated to serve his creator with the more precious parts meaning the more valuable parts we already determined that ears hearing is more valuable and i'll just add more precious it can really give you an intense pleasure when here when you hear good tidings and that god fashioned you with right we already discussed the eyes and the ears are both precious but one's more precious than the other the onish godo yes keep this in mind that um yeah we have the obligation to serve hashem with these organs and that's a great obligation and that would follow in reverse meaning the other way that if we don't use these organs or these senses to serve hashem the punishment should also be great so just like the reward is great in reverse god forbid the punishment would be great if we interfere we use these limbs to interfere with the performance of mitzvahs right you're not using them to service them properly the loc but also your if you fail to repay hashem in other words hashem has been done with kindness with us from even before we were born from the time we were conceived and then while we were in the womb even the word room is right it's a rashem it's related to this peaceful existence this rock came as compassion right a woman her essence is right it's a certain compassion that men know nothing about no i'm kidding of course this is why we have to get married right so we understand and we learn what compassion is really about so um where was i if um oh so if we god forbid fail to repay hashem hashem has been doing kindness from the moment we were conceived all the way up till the very moment how much he has taken care of us how much he has i mean how much words can i even describe the the loving kindness that he has shown to us from the day we came into existence and how could we ever pay him obviously we can shame haiti for hashem has been extremely benevolent benevolent to a person by endowing us with these precious senses in fact we're crowned with this with honor and splendor through them through the senses that he gave us so alkane now we understand why verse 30 it's describing this idea of the advantages the ears have over the eyesight and that it um it provides pla pleasure that's powerful enough to fatten bone by ha godel in order to demonstrate to show you the the tremendous obligation that one has to serve god with what with our ears with our hearing and this relates to when again when somebody is giving you rebuke this is actually good tidings this allows you to leave a existence of darkness right if we're this i can only relate for men right i mean just i'm going to give you an example a man goes to synagogue and a wife should make sure right he's sitting in his house putting on us to fill in he might be putting it on wrong his whole life right all of a sudden one day for some reason he's go to school his is the filling and he puts it here right it has to go above the hairline but you know what he was never in true so people look at him and hopefully somebody with a kind soul will come over and whisper to him and wink and say and i got a secret for you you know you never put on phil in your whole life your whole life you've been putting it on i'm kidding he'll talk to him very kindly hopefully and there's a benefit to receiving this reward can you imagine a person who thinks they're religious and putting on to fill in their whole life and they never they never even put it on because if it's not in the right place the the shocking ark says it's like you left it in the cases you left it in your tilling bag right so there is there is um a tremendous um benefit to going to shul to being around people and hopefully right hearing wow i didn't realize that right i've been making the wrong bracha on a certain food and i make it out loud and someone hears me who has enough guts to say excuse me you know when i learned this in school and yeshiva maybe there's another opinion you don't mind looking it up again and checking out who who says to say that you said and the guy says wow i've been saying the wrong rock on my whole life right what what a way to come out of darkness okay so here we have it um and now we have a verse in actually it's it's not a reverse it's the same verse we said before oh using that the ear is hearing is listening to rebuke for life reproof for life it's going to bring you life the care of hamilton and you should reside amongst what does that mean roy lishkon bain you should live you should dwell you should hang out you should keep company amongst amongst the sages in order that you should be able to hear now it doesn't mean that they're always going to be telling you what to do but you're even when you want to become a talmud you want to be a wise person hang out with the rebbitsons hang out with the rabbis hang out with people that act a certain way and you can watch them learn shimush at least by trying to be a rabbi it's ho chi minh i would only imagine the same thing you want to be a rabbit sin you want to live have a nice jewish home hang out with the rabbitsons see how they make the bracha see how they treat someone who comes to the door and asks for tzedakah see how they treat their husbands right see how they treat their children so it's called shimush you know really getting into the nitty-gritty of life it's not book learning but it's witnessing with your own eyes and it's much greater than book learning okay so now the we're on page 165 at the bottom because i'll tell us we're going to turn the page 166. this is an interesting it's part of the medrash what if somebody god forbid fell from a roof and he heard two limbs so you wrap those limbs individually right a guy heard his broke his finger and he broke his pinky toe so what are you gonna do put band-aids put some type of bandage on those two limbs or you're gonna fully wrap him in a body uh cast right because of these two lips they're so far away obviously you're gonna put two separate um casts or whatever they do you know okay so a person fell from the roof and he broke a few limbs tariq ritia the you need some type of a bandage and addressing alcohol the etsa mouth moth on whatever limb or bone was broken but god forbid is someone who's sinning with all of his limbs okay did i skip something uh next though so we're talking about sin itself is an illness it's a spiritual illness so if god forbid someone sinned with all of his limbs he needs one huge bandage right he needs a body cast right from the bottom of his toe to the top of his finger right here it's talking about the word kado mean the top of his head and there's a verse in isaiah chapter 1 verse 6. now this is isaiah's in the beginning he's giving a lot of rebuke right that's what the prophet is supposed to do to re to try to guide the people to a better way so it says there mika regal the odd rosh matom from the soul of the foot to the head nothing in him is whole only injury bruised and festering wound in other words he's talking to the jewish people at the time where whoever he's giving rebuke to is not a broken finger in a broken toe but a massive amount of fixing needs to happen the way that he will heal us right is because he heals all the parts of the body with one dressing okay and how is that through hearing the words of reproof yes just like the prophets came and rebuked the people we don't have the prophets today but we have friends and people who care about us and they will tell us hopefully with love and concern that we need to correct our behavior whether it could be our wife and this is hashem acting through them so the heisha mata with which is through hearing words of reproof this is how this is a full dressing so to speak and we have another verse in isaiah chapter 5 55 verse 3 beautiful verse i mean we use this verse allah we talk in incline your ear and come to me here and your soul will live hashem himself is talking through isaiah right if you listen clearly you will live right your soul will be healed and climb your ear and come to me capital m e come to me not isaiah isaiah is saying come to hashem hear and your soul will live that means by hearing alone that's that one dressing right somebody breaks many bones what are you going to do wrap each bone hashem heals us through here through listening through chuba by listening and taking it to heart to heart and this rather shin okay that's paragraph 12. now we're going to begin paragraph 13. we just discussed hearing somebody give you rebuke what about you can you give yourself a rebuke it's very difficult i admit you know someone who's very sensitive and realize they did the wrong thing great but it requires study you know when you listen to the prophets the prophets were rebuking the people over hundreds of years and you get a feel for what's right and what's wrong so that is a way to awaken yourself the fourth way yes hashem at a moment when a person is learning the torah of god yikra bedivre and nadeem and you're reading what we call the oral torah right you have the five books of moses that's the written torah and then you have it's written it's called the books of the prophets in the book the the books of writings this is it's part of our history there's no doubt but it's it's part of we call divre cabala the words that were trans that were handed down and they actually clarify and expand on the five books of moses because remember you're not allowed to add or subtract the five books of moses are what they are but as history went on people needed to understand what the five book in other words we were warned already we were given instructions and if we ever fail to follow that instruction the prophets came and said you're not doing it right and they explained what you had to do and therefore it's an eye-opener when you read the prophets and the writings what exactly does the five books of moses mean so as you're reading that you understand with pleasantness pleasantness these pleasant words of chastisement of rebuke the yirat azharoth and you're seeing these warnings against ignoring commandments hashem had commanded and the punishments for not heeding those mornings just from reading the it's like you're hearing it over again maybe in different words it was already said in the five books but you're hearing in a way that was related to people who live generations later in practical circumstances and also you're hearing about the punishments sometimes the punishments are not listed directly in the five books we always had it as a tradition but later on with the prophets admonished it's part of the job it's the job description not only does god tell the prophet you have to tell them what they're doing wrong but they have to tell them the consequences of this uh this bad behavior and then this is a very interesting word the that one should tremble the word is like from the word we all are familiar with the word kharadi well god tells the jewish people many times to limit to tremble right from some of us from philadelphia and there was a famous group called the quakers i don't know group but if you ever buy uh what do you call oatmeal oatmeal right you have i think benjamin franklin or somebody who looks like benjamin franklin on the cover of this uh maybe they'll outlaw it one day is uh you know it's inappropriate but anyway in the meantime quaker oats you have um a quaker a quaker why they call quakers i have no idea i think they were very religious people apparently so this is what it means i want you to have this like and tremble when you read the tanakh when you read through the prophecies of you know isaiah and jeremiah and you know all the prophets it should like affect your heart right and your brain the acha the yakin libo and what you should do is prepare to direct your heart towards improvement and your ways and your actions the yit rats al hashem in order to not appease hashem but that hashem should find favor um by what you're about to commit to just the committing alone and the attempts that you use to try to change your behavior and listen to this in isaiah chapter 66 verse 2. god is saying this through isaiah it is to this that i will look look meaning anticipate right to the poor and broken spirit person who trembles about my word right someone who's honest and realized they made mistakes that is the poor and broken spirit person who trembles without hashem's word god will look and have a i'm going to read the comment here what does it mean to this i will look indicates an increased level of care and concern god loves you which comes from finding favor in the eyes of hashem just by the willingness to do chuva and making any efforts to do so you're finding favor in front of hashem thus we see the one who trembles about hashem's word and takes its lessons to heart finds favor in god's eyes now yoshiyahu now he was a king and he's not the first king that discovered a safer torah a scroll well guess what when they were doing renovations in the temple and they found the torah scroll and they rent their garments why would they rent their garments they found things in there that you know they heard words of tokah they realized they weren't living up to expectations that hashem had so this is in second kings chapter 22 verse 11. the hebrews it was when the king heard the words of the safer torah being read the yikra asked the god of they tore their clothing okay they tore their just by the way who was yoshiyahu he was one of the later kings of judah his father amon and his grandfather i have to make sure on the right page we were just on 167. now nothing here is in order for me i don't know why but okay menasha right his grandfather menasha were very wicked so that yoshio inherited a kingdom steeped in avodah zarah out of worship and alienated from torah observance in the 18th sorry in the 18th year of yoshiyas reign he began extensive repairs in the base of mikdash during the repairs a concealed safer tour was discovered and it was read too yoshiao upon hearing the words of the torah yoshiao repented and embarked on a mission to rid the land of evoda czar of the erdos there is some to the scot there is some discussion about which verse actually called caused yoshio to rent his garments but the point is he heard things that needed improvement and yes he rent his garments so here's one example just by reading the torah it should awaken your heart your brain your intellect your emotions to do truth we also find we also find in in by the the time of ezra so you go to chapter eight verse nine being read aloud the people were all crying okay god forbid if one does not take right they're reading the tanakh and it doesn't affect them they don't realize in their own life what used to be um improved upon the sin is actually even greater right if you're when they say ignorance is bliss well not in judaism because you're also held accountable for being ignorant okay there's no excuse you could have learned you should have learned you had the right to ask questions nobody told you don't ask questions judaism is all about asking questions you run into an orthodox jew on the bus or at work and you never asked him why he does or why she does this or the other thing okay so you never ask guess what you're gonna be held responsible but worse than that what if you're like us and we read it all the time and it just goes in one ear and out the other so to speak right there's no it's not registering in our heart okay guess what jeremiah chapter 36 verse 24. it says lo pachadu velo karu s mcdahim they did not fear and they did not tear their clothes now this is about a different king a terrible punishment that was coming to jehoiakam and he ignored the chastisement there i could read it it might work be worthwhile okay so yahaya khan was the son of the righteous king yoshiyahu which we just discussed for many years the prophet promised prophesied about the horrible destruction that would be visited upon the jewish people if they did not repent of their sinful ways during the reign of yahuwah kim hashem commanded your meow to record the past prophecies in a scroll when this row was read was read to that king yahayakim neither he nor his servants were moved to repent it didn't affect them one bit instead as each part of the scroll was read to yoshiao he cut it up and threw it in the air actually burned it he cut it up and burned it and as a consequence of joakim's reaction to hearing the word of hashem they were very severe in jeremiah 36 verse 30. jeremiah says prophesied therefore said of hashem concerning joachim king of yehuda he will not have anyone who will sit on the throne of david and his corpse shall be cast out into the heat of the day and to the frost of the night okay here we're on the last part page 169 and regarding um a statement from the sages you can find this in the ushami tamil yushami in brachos the enemy anybody who learns torah and doesn't fulfill what they learn so what are you learning for right it's like an intellectual exercise i don't i mean what other reason could you be learning and not try to fulfill everything that you come across wow i didn't know that i that's what i should do thank you very much no the person is learning and they're not fulfilling yatto it actually it means the person was better off not being born in actual hebrew it says that it would be better for him to have his his placenta turned on its face and never come out to the air of this world let's just leave it it would have been better the person never had been born can you imagine you're learning the torah and you don't try you don't make an attempt to apply what it is that you're learning and now we're going to end with a few verses and i'll just tell you what the two verses are it's in hoshia 8 12 and jeremiah 8 8. so this tells you like this right hosah says in chapter 8 verse 12 i wrote for them the great principles of my torah meaning hashem gave us the torah but they re they were regarded as something alien something you cannot relate to something foreign no the the torah is our heritage right we were born so to speak i mean it talks about abraham isaac and jacob we were born with these principles meaning they were instilled in our dna over time right this is something that we were taught even while we were in our mother's womb it's in the dna of the soul so to speak and yet we related to them as if we couldn't relate to them at all as if they were alien and it says also and is that the same verse it's also yeah chapter and jeremiah 8 8 how can you say in jeremiah 8 8 how can you say we are wise and hashem's torah is with us it's a question mark this is the rebuke indeed the akhen hineshekar also ate shekhar sawfram indeed they made the quill for naught and the scribes had written for naught in other words can you imagine even today right are people buying books they're writing safer torahs they're spending all this money on what and they're not even reading it they're i mean the the concept of taking a quill you know i don't know if you pick it off the chicken or the the goose but at some point you sharpen it you dip it into the ink you you go through school you know how to write and it doesn't mean anything to you right you buy books and you read them they have a nice shelf and you don't pull them off the shelf you don't read them and if you do
