if you raise a kid that we knew mixed
with four candies there's no question
you're raising a hedonist okay
but what if you raise a kid and and what
do you tell we do messes so that we can
experience pleasure in the world to come
time move in little naba you've just
pried him to be susceptible to the false
argument that life is about what makes
you feel good because what did you tell
them you told life's about pleasure
no I didn't tell much about planet what
did you say I said life is about tiny
little Hollow
yeah translate that life is about
pleasure in the world to come great
world to come no you want them to have
the pleasure in the world to come but he
heard the making party a statement
life's about pleasure
he just figured out a way to get it
easier and faster and cheaper you want
to have pleasure of the world to come
okay he'll have it now but he hurt your
main points our sages talents I need
lighting if they see a little of Shama
she's coming I was only creative or
other than it says it says it in the
negative
I was not created or set to serve my
maker
what am I here for I'm here to be useful
to my maker when you tell a kid that the
reason we serve a chef is because we
were made to be useful to Russia we were
made to serve life is about service life
is about being useful there's not too
far that he can stray based on those
instructions but if you tell a kid likes
about pleasure in the world to come the
fund pleasure just not necessarily where
you want to define what the bottom line
is like this we teach our children and
if we weren't taught as children then we
teach ourselves we do this for fun and
for free we do this because this is the
most meaningful way to live not
personally meaningful although yeah I
suppose that too as sort of an
afterthought but meaningful in the
objective and absolute sense of this is
what has meaning period this is what I
was created to do and does it happen to
work out that when I live in a manner
that is consistent with my makers
designed for me that I'm healthier
emotionally and mentally and physically
yes of course it happens as a side
benefit that happens to work out but
primarily I do it because this is what I
need to do
