Why did you think that makes any sense? Because you weren't thinking with your Torah hat. You were thinking with your lust hat. The same lust and gluttony and overindulgence that took over you when it came to food, when it came to money, when it came to morality, issues of promiscuity, issues of between him and her. You figured that I could have as much of this as I want. So therefore, I could have as much of this as I want and therefore I could have as much of this as I want. But everybody keeps talking about this God thing and getting close to God. So, I want as much of that as I want also, but I don't want to wait 50 years to become the next. I don't want to wait 80 years to become the next leader. I want now. I don't care to get it now. Your local drug dealer will tell you, "Yeah, you'll be flying high.
