All I Wanted Was a Piece of Chicken

[Music] he went with his wife to a wedding and they traveled all day from new york to canada they come to the wedding and he's starving he didn't meet all day they didn't stop that to be at the wedding finally dances over they sit down and the waiter serves up the chicken and he eyes the chicken he's about to consume the chicken his wife comes into the men's section she's standing at the door and she motions to him come come come fast okay his wife is calling him so he gets up and he goes out and she says i found him a matchmaker who i think could be very very helpful to help one of our children get married they speak to the matchmaker for a while i guess describe the situation or whatever issue was going on they finished the conversation this man tells me i come back the chicken is gone there's not a morsel of food it's all over and right there and then his wife tells him we gotta go home because the babysitter in new york has to leave early in the morning and there's a bunch of little kids in the house he's definitely little kids if we don't leave the casino right now we're not going to be home on time and our kids are going to be left alone they get into the car and they start their trek home from canada back to new york and he tells me the story he says i am furious i am so angry at my wife i just can't speak to her and she's very calm and nice and kind and jolly and she's like how are you doing how was the wedding what do you think of it are you fine you know just regular loving kind relationship type of conversation just connecting person to person and he tells me i am furious you know when you're so angry there's like nothing else like that's the only reality and his wife is unaware of why he would be angry at her of course so she's like are you a right but he's burning up in anger and he doesn't even know why [Music] and then it dawns on him the chicken she called him out to speak to a matchmaker and what happened he never got to eat the chicken and he's starving and he started to smile to himself and then he shared it with her and he said you know i'm very angry at you why what happened chicken i missed my chicken and he said and he started to laugh and it all got released and he was fine the moment he can identify how petty we humans are yeah a piece of chicken doesn't i'm starving because of you i lost my plate of chicken even though you didn't mean it that way you just wanted to help your child get married got it but the chicken is more important than everything because i'm hungry and when i can identify that i can actually say okay yeah i was very angry at you and you know what and now let's move on now imagine he would tell himself i'm a true who learns a graduate and he's a jewelry he's a serious jew he's an iva dashev he's a bad tyra he's went through a latin life he's a refined person if he would tell himself man i can't be so upset about it come on what am i a good luck i've been saying an addict about private so now what is he angry at his wife for oh probably some existential reasons what would have happened would have been a mess they would have been fighting to without even knowing it the moment you can identify the bias you can emancipate yourself from it so we're always biased but when we can identify it then we can make choices that are much more powerful and we can choose to align with our infinite divine core and make decisions from that place watch the full class at the yeshiva.net [Music]
