[Music] continues and he says a Fool Believes everything but a heretic believes nothing a fool is just some somebody that is just whatever you tell them oh wow wow wow every every two seconds wow amazing wow amazing you're not going to check what just said sound a little bombastic some amazing or crazy you're not gonna check you're not gonna open a book go on the internet do a Google search something everything GNA believe oh that's a fool that's a fool new fools Bor born every day but it's something worse than a fool a heretic a heretic believes nothing whatever you tell him no no no I don't think that's what he said hey it's look here ra here here you go ra that's what he says no no I think you're mistranslating it what do you mean it's in Hebrew here you go I read Hebrew but let's read the English whatever you want no no no I think somebody I think somebody messed with the rambam I think somebody messed with this I think they're not going to believe anything why because it doesn't fit their pre-existing opinion their pre-existing opinion that's why many times when people come to me and they say listen I have somebody for you that uh you know he's an atheist he's a you know Christian he's a whatever but he wants to learn he wants to to find the truth I said okay send them my personal story most people they think well what do you like some arrogant person that needs everybody to know your story who cares about your story he's asking for the truth about hem what does that to do with your story everything everything why as I said in the beginning of this sh before this sh started it's not just about the truth it's never just about the truth if it was just about the truth we wouldn't be here first and foremost before you can help somebody they have to be prepared to be helped they have to desire being helped they have to acknowledge they need help if they don't acknowledge they need help if they don't acknowledge there's a problem you're wasting your time you could be M himself bring yesu bring the 70 bring all of the sages all the prophets everybody in front of this guy have Shabbat in his house is still in front of them cuz he's not he's not ready he doesn't care he doesn't want she doesn't care she doesn't want she'll wear a mini skirt to a meeting with mosu she thinks she's doing a Mitzvah unless a person is ready no truth will ever help them now unfortunately they don't really know when they're ready when they're not ready most of the time because sometimes people think that they don't want but as soon as you hit them with the truth they want so there's other aspects the other aspect is or the other step is that they have to be willing to invest time into it anyone that expects the truth to be served to them on a silver platter without any effort I'm just going to give you the answer in two seconds and then you're finished waste of time so as soon as I send the personal story or somebody sends a personal story we see whether this what this is why because if he's not ready or she's not ready for the truth immediately going to say no no it's not for me I'm not really interested they're not even going to press the click or they're going to do something worse which is they're going to click on it see two hours two and a half hours oh no this is too long I need a shorter version you want a shorter version you want a shorter truth you want something else I can't help you can't help you with no can you send me a clip no no I can't send you a clip there's no clip of the story this clip stood apart not clip of the story why what am I trying to achieve with this story technically it's not going to answer all of his I'll answer some but it's not going to answer all of his questions it's not for him the story it's for me why I need to know if I'm the vessel I need to the story is not for him the story is for me for me to find an answer what answer am I the vessel he is he or she that's watching this personal story they're going to determine something by the time they get to some point the middle of the story the end of the story what what are they going to get to they may get some answers but the biggest answer is for me which is do they believe I am the vessel that can help them get to whatever answer they need get to whatever truth they need get to whatever questions they have because it doesn't matter what whether you possess the truth or not if they don't like your voice your look your hair your tradition your background whatever doesn't matter what you have it's going to fall on DEA ears so what I need to do is find out are they willing to first of all are they ready for the truth are they actually care about the truth at all they just want to live like cows they want to just you know eat grass every day and wait to die every birthday is celebrating oh I'm closer to the death happy birthday to you what they want to be like that or they want to be like a person that cares about life number two they want to invest time into it number three am I the vessel if you think if you answered all three and you agree you think I'm the vessel you think I can provide truth to you you like the way I talk and chair and so on y let's go let's go for it but the reality is is that many times people are not fail at one of those things most of the time they fail at the fact that they're not not willing to put the time in to watch a two-hour movie they have time to go to a baseball game for five hours they have time to go play uh football with all of their friends they have time but to watch sh for two hours they don't have time people that don't have time to watch two hour can't help them can't help them yeah you can send them a clip and hopefully over time they'll they'll bite they'll see one clip one five minutes one 10 minutes one five minutes one 10 minute clip and eventually they'll bite and they'll watch a longer sh but until they watch that longer sh you can't really help them you can just keep them afloat and make sure they don't jump off a bridge maybe that's really that's that's that's the most you can do so when it comes to a person the says a person that uh doesn't believe anything that's a heretic now allthough a wise person wise people meaning the are skeptical of of everything they hear and read they accept the tor's teaching with unquestioning faith so even though you come to them you're going to say your story you're going to go to a bedine you tell your story he did this he did this you have a lawsuit against somebody you have a case against someone you want to bring some new truth to the bedine you need some help from the bedine tell them your case they're going to look at your case even though it all makes sense they're going to still have to double check why that's what you have to do you can't just take your word at face value have to double check I have to double check everything you you're supposed to be skeptical but to Simply go against it not believe it or believe everything all of these things are steps of Fools and Heretics [Music]
