You remember the story with Shimei ben Gera, [clears throat] David Amelach? You know, I know you on the video can't nod to me, but there's a story with Shimei ben Gera. A certain individual that went and cursed King David. Slandered him, pointed the finger at him, liar, THIEF, FRAUD. Yoav ben Seruya pulled his sword out, the the chief of staff, was about to cut his head off. David Amelach stops him. No, no, no, no. And King David says, "Hashem amarlo kalel." Hashem told him to curse. Don't kill him. So, the individual in the story that I told you said, "You know why I have such protection? Because I don't hold grudge. I'm not angry at anyone. I forgive everybody." So, when I learned that Gemara, then I was like, "Okay, I'm going to start forgiving everybody." Why? Because the person who did something bad to me, Hashem amarlo kalel. Hashem told him to do that. So, I'm not angry at anyone. I forgive everyone. I forgive every person that ever slandered me, ever went against me, trashed me, stole from me.
