Very important lesson for all of us. Very important lesson. We have to be people who are open-minded and receptive to guidance, receptive to guidance. We have to realize that there are people perhaps that are wiser than us. There are people maybe who could lead us and guide us to the truth and be a person who could take be a person who accepts it cuz it's a good thing. It's not a bad thing. It's okay to be confused and it's okay not to know all the answers and you'll have somebody help you. He's a smarter person. He's my RV or he's my Rebby or he's a mentor or whatever it is. Be receptive to that. Don't don't be so stuck. This is this is what it is. There are some people that argue. They have certain argu they argue even if they know their point is wrong. Once they started the argument, they can never back. They just can't back down. It's not part of their nature. So, they'll justify and use whatever they could use to, you know, continue saying what they're saying. It's a very important thing to have people that can guide us. It's a very important thing to have rabim that we could look up to and we could say you know what I don't understand you but you're right and that could just tell us the em even though sometimes it hurts or sometimes it's a little bit too close to home right sometimes you look you learn mus and you say like this doesn't apply to me this is not me this is not I I give muso this is nothing to do with me this is my friend or other people that I know but it's not me why can't you just say it is me yeah I'm not perfect I am not perfect and that's Okay. And once you could do that, then life changes because then you just become this person who it's it's not like you're getting all day. It's not like people are giving you m all day. But when certain things come out, when certain clips are posted or certain give or say something and you're able to take it and you're like, "Wow, Taka, I could I I want to I want to reach a higher level of perfection or a higher level of goodness. I want to try to work on myself. I don't want to be that person who every single time I justify because it makes me look good or cuz my ego or cuz whatever. Let's let's be that person. It's it's only going to be positive for you. It's only going to be a good thing.
