Can I Make A Difference? - R. Meir Simcha Sperling - TorahAnytime.com

But some people feel like well if I do an what does that matter to anybody else I'm not affecting anything affecting myself it's my choice I have freedom to choose what I want says the when somebody does a vera you are not only affecting yourself you are creating a spiritual energy a negative spiritual energy and it affects everything around you everything around you and therefore if it's so bad and there's so much happening then yes it could even affect the animals all of the animals. It could even affect the earth, the earth, the first few of the earth. So you see over here something very very powerful that they were so corrupt. They were so bad back then at this time, right? Obvious felt the need to destroy the world. Obviously it was bad. I'm going to destroy everything. So So you see that because it was so bad it even affected all the animals. So you're right. Normally taka animals don't have free will. They don't have their instinct to do a they do whatever they do. But over here everything was so bad. The spiritual energy was so negative was so bad that all the animals were affected and they also had to be destroyed. So I just want to say that if that's true by the negative, how much more so by the positive? If that's true, when you do something negative, you're affecting so much. So when you do something positive, you're certainly affecting so much. That means that if you're in a good environment, if you're with good people, if you're speaking the way you're supposed to speak, if you're doing what wants you to do, you're doing good things, you're doing you're learning, you're in a yeshiva, you're in a school, you're in a seminary, wherever you are, you're in a and you're around good people, around good role models, you will be affected and you will affect the things around you. you will bring up the world with you. So if this is true by negative things, it's for sure it's true by positive things and that's something that we have to take inside of ourselves. Yeah, that's true. Sometimes I don't want to fight this. Sometimes I'm having a big assign a big challenge and it's me. It's me against what am I doing for the world. You're doing a lot for the world. If you need a push, then realize that what you do by you overcoming this, you could change the world. You have the power to do so much good for us. And we need all of the the good we could get. We need all of this we get. We need all the light that we could get. So if you're ever falling to a certain a to a certain or you're ever not sure if I should go this way or that way and one is good and one is bad, pick the good because we need you. We need you and your we need you and your accomplishments and your successes and your battle wins against the because it affects the world. It doesn't just change you.
