says it's called Death it's death if you are jealous of secular people you haven't completed your chuva you haven't even begun your Chua you're beat you're you're you're you're you're uh impressed by uh these rich people that are rich Jewish people that are F famous celebrities and they go against hem you're jealous of them you haven't begun to do jua yet cuz you still think a life without God is an option for you which means you have no idea what you have you have no idea what you have being the most lonely little environment in the world you by yourself in a room with a little bit of bread to eat every day and a sear Tora is much better to the infinite power than the richest man on the planet richest man on the planet doesn't have God you in your little room you every day you all you eat is one little you know three- day old piece of bread that's what you eat but you have a with you you keep shab keep you have a little room Little Shack nothing and bottom of a barrel you live in like a half a sewer half a house you have a much better life than the guy that has a hundred billion dollars a month you don't realize it you're poorer Than Dirt even with the money without the money you don't have you don't have no idea you have no concept why because you still think that the illusion is true you think that this is really solid I just told you it's not solid it's all 99.9% nothing you want to go verify go on Google they'll tell you too Rabbi Google is good no science knows everything but you have to stop you have to stop believing the illusion that this takes work this takes time this takes a lot of a lot of reflection analyze yourself you have to know yourself most important you got to stop stop looking everywhere stop looking at everybody's pocket stop looking at everybody's face stop looking at what everybody else has stop stop looking at everything grass always looks Greener always looks Greener but it's an illusion it's an illusion everything is an illusion you look at yourself you look at your you look at nobody in the world is happier than you but that's why you're going to see people that have trillions of dollars billions of dollars all types of things that people think is good and they're the most miserable people on the planet they commit suicide they are addicted to drugs they are addicted to alcohol they're addicted to all types of things why are they addicted why are they have all these addictions all of these addictions are forms of escape from their reality because their reality is not like the illusion their reality is horrible you're going to see them laugh in a picture but not in life you're going to see him celebrate in a moment but I'm not in life in life they're addicted to a bunch of different things that con looking for new hobbies and new things to do to occupy time I know this I used to be one of them you do stuff just to keep yourself busy oh I'm going to go to the mall why I don't just go shop around what do you mean shop you have nothing to do in your life go shop around that's it no I'm GNA go to my friend's house for what I have some coffee chitchat that's it chitchat talk to your friends what are you going to talk about oh talk about another friend it didn't show up wow I talk about politics why you care about politic politics well you think your opinion matters that if you guys have a really good conversation really good debate between you of who should be president they're going to give you a call ah we we choose him we're gonna we're going to pick the next president because he won the argument people have all these discussions about politics about this about that for what wasting their life there's nothing smart coming out of their mind I was on a way back from SCH on Shabbat and I heard these two teenagers were walking in front of me walking in front of me they're having conversation between them I want I don't know what to do myself I don't know what to do myself but you know their father was behind me so I didn't have NE opportunity to talk to these two kids but two kids are walking back from SH now what are you going to talk you just finished Shabbat you in sh for three four hours at the least what are you going to talk about talk about Paras talk about uh you know what talk about food I don't know talk about something you know connected to shabbat you were in sh for three four hours something what you talk about one k tells the other he goes you know when you you know you when you sleep a little too much the more you sleep the worse your breath becomes this is this is the conversation of two kids from Yesa what I'm talking about I couldn't help myself I'm reading a little book but I hear this you know they're next to me so I'm reading a little thing I walk around I read a little book and I'm think what did he just say that and that's a conversation between two kids the more you sleep the worse your breath becomes I said I think I just became stupider I have to use this in a lecture so at least maybe Hashem will like UNP punish me cuz now it became you know for the purpose of give these two boys something their their their stupidity was used for to but this is what this is what people talk about hey you want to come over for coffee sure what do you want to talk about we'll talk about uh you know a next door neighbor we talk about the uh economy I talk about the all the type of stuff like for what nothing no purpose no form of wisdom whatsoever comes out of people's minds no form of wisdom about do nothing act it's sad it's sad that's why when you have a for real you know how you know you know how you know that you have a you become like David small version David says I love your Torah so much all day it's my conversation all day it's my convers all I talk about is you is you I talk about hm all day I talk about t all day now of course once in a while you got to take care of the bills oh honey we got to take care of this bill and there little mundane things you have to do to live to survive in this world okay did you buy some uh salt did you buy some milk did you you have to do that just to live in life but the majority of your life is not this what do you do with the rest of the time what do you do with the rest of the time you talk about baseball talk about the uh stock market talk about the money you don't have talk about the the what are you talk about okay so you don't have AEM how do you have AEM you have AEM when all you talk about is him that's when you know you have all you want to talk about is all you want to learn about is you don't care about all the in the world all you care about is why and that's why the closer you are to Hashem the further you be come from the people that are not and that's what is one of the growing signs of your chuva where you see that the more the closer you become to Hashem the less you have in Comon with the people from your past even if you grew up with them for 20 30 40 years your best friend your brother and sister your even mother and daughter whatever it is but until that point when before you started do you guys were on the same point you're certain Lev but then you started progressing you all you want to talk about is more another another another another another story about more about more about more about more all you want is this you're third the more you get the more you want because you see how beautiful it is it gives your your life a meaning you're you're developing your mind you're developing your life you start feeling there's a purpose to your creation there there everything starts making sense everything starts having a value and then your friend still wants to talk about the weather oh so you know it took me 15 minutes to get here today not 14 minutes like yesterday why because I took the I95 last time but this time I took the turn bike one of the lowest forms of conversation is talking about your your traffic of how you went from one place to the other this is like the number one conversation that starts off you know when you get to somebody oh so how long did it take you to get here H 45 minutes ah 45 minutes crazy took me 30 minutes last time 30 minutes how'd you go Turnpike ah no I took I95 you know you should listen to me she listen I took the turnpike took the turn no so next time oh this time I took the turnpike it took me an hour oh yeah because on Thursdays there's traffic you should ask me and that's what they talk about talk about traffic they talk about traffic you should go to my guy he knows the road you should use this app use this app I well use Google no I use maps oh and they talk about my most nothing nothing to empty like the atam nothing why they have no how can you have anything how can you have anything if you don't have a it's like a little mouse running around even the mouse is like you know what I'm going to sleep heck with you he won't even talking about traffic you don't need me for traffic do yourself we talk about the app what app you downloaded this week you're running out of space in your phone that's you're talking about talking about running space out of the phone says I love your Torah so much all day I talk about it all day all day I like you all day okay so I got to take care of the bills and I have the kids and I you have the wife and you have the husband and yeah basic stuff you got to De but at every single free moment that you're not dealing with the mundane day all day all day all day sometimes it's you're talking about to help somebody give them sometimes you're talking about it for yourself sometimes you're learning something new sometimes you're repeating something again that you have you've learned already sometimes you're telling something to somebody else whatever it is but Al you're involved in it that's a life that is priceless priceless if you know what a feels like but people that live the world of Lies they think that if you have money or you have a house or you have a certain woman or a certain man or certain possessions that that's better well once you get to that point and you have all that stuff you realize it's not only it's not better it's actually worse because the poor guy has the hopes that one day when he's Rich he'll be happier the rich guy knows that the money means nothing and he has nothing to look up nothing to look forward to that's why rich people are the only ones that have a problem of suicide poor people usually don't don't commit suicide because they they still have hope who is telling us you don't have to commit suicide whether you're poor or you're rich you don't have to become addicted to drugs whether you're poor or you're rich you don't have to become addicted to to to uh to immorality whether you're poor or you're rich the only addiction the only addiction that you should have that's highly recommended is become addicted to hem learn as much as possible about hem and you will see a life that everyone is going to become jealous of because you're going to be the only one that's going to walk around let you know what's going on everyone is in a panic 30 missiles H H you're walking around like what what are you what are you guys scared of what's happening what what you didn't hear he ran declared what so why you so scared why you come to your house no but maybe

mean your father your father's Iranian no the missiles the missiles what do you mean why am I go tell what to do when you with all the time none of this stuff none of this anxiety exists doesn't exist anxiety you may get annoyed here and there but anxiety doesn't exist you're annoyed because you're not 100% you're less you have issues but the point is I'm telling you I'm telling you you I'm telling you the only thing in the world you need is a what the more you have the richer you are everything else becomes meaningless whether you have money you don't have money doesn't make a difference you have money you start looking like it's a hammer okay so we have money now let's more more with this money let's buy more with this money let's bring more with this money you have a car okay how can we
