Mak finally when he asked to stop the
Mak he
says finally I I I did
bad is the righteous and me and my my
nation were the wicked so I saw the
storm say that we're putting in the K is
also D J We're putting in the K the
place that really he said what a lot of
politicians say nowadays
says hasem is righteous and and I'm also
righteous but my my advisers they're
telling me not to let the Jews go but
still because I'm innocent D to stop
the so besides the self-righteousness
there's another another point that we
could take from this
is besides the Detachment from reality a
person has to know has to look at it
that when he wanted to do he did every
in the book and he asked sh to D the
mountains everything to D for me they
all said before we di for you going to D
for ourselves so finally he said l b
that's the vitamin B you want you need
vitamins I kick in the pants yes say
it's on me gab what am I saying this so
earlier by
the there's a question theor in
say made a big Idol
and whether it was really or not it
could he just did it for his honor but
he wanted representative of every single
nation to bow down to the idol the idol
of him so decid they're not bowing down
they're going to get thrown into the
instead of B so asked what what did they
see to make this if they weren't if they
weren't to jump in they weren't to bow
down so they should why why they why
were they willing to give up their life
so says they made a
from they weren't to give up their life
and yet they jumped into the ovens so we
who have a mitzah for sure we should be
willing to give up our lives so a
rebi they ask they say that a rebbi of
the girl asked him when he was a child
and this is what he answered he said
what do you mean it says clearly in the
that they're going to
come they're going to go into the oven
so what do you mean didn't have a MIT of
Kes it says clearly they're going to go
into the oven so the V going answer he
said yeah it's true but it only says but
in general it doesn't say which has to
go into the food and which has to go
into the oven so each one when he got to
the oven he could say no no it's not for
me I'm the one that's supposed to go on
the bed and you're the one that's
supposed to go on the food and at the
end of the day nobody would end up in
the oven the fact that put his foot down
and said you know what we're supposed to
go in the oven I don't know who I'm
going the I'm going to be the one I'm
doing
so that's why they were able to
learn from the but something we could
learn from it is you say toally be it's
on me what are we saying this as far say
a person you ask a person why why you
working so much he says I have to put my
kids to school okay I have to support my
son-in-law he's learning okay very nice
so every and the son grows up and what
does he do he works for his son he works
for his son there's nothing wrong with
supporting Tyra it's a beautiful amazing
thing but I
he said I want to see after 300
Generations that son that everybody was
working for he's going to be like M I
want to I want to see him I want to get
a br from him but what he what does he
mean he means that okay it's true you
have to work I'm not telling you to quit
your job but when you get
to is going to be in the same place as
but do you want to be there because
you're do you want to be there because
if you want to be there because
you're you have to say it's the yeah
it's true when you come back from work
you go to a
but someone who's let's say part of D
and he takes the test and heers and
whatever he writes it he writes things
down it's a different learning it's a
different thing he's making himself from
being it's TR he works he's v he's G to
get for it but he doesn't have to feel I
got into as I'm there as
a reminds me of a story I saw
that I think when he had a great great
grandson they told him that it's brought
down in a safer I think Yos whatever
that if someone was a
for his great great
grandson at that point in's life I don't
think he was going out to be Sonic
anymore so he said no thanks he said why
not he said when I go into Alaba I'm not
going through the side I'm not going
through the back I'm going I'm going in
the front door that's an example of a
person who
says to take Life by the horns and do
the
