I once went to a yeshiva in Israel this
year and went to visit boys boys in our
community in a community yeshiva that's
in Israel. I said boys I want to tell
you how life works. All of these fun
stuff are actually fun. They really are.
Drugs, gambling, alcohol, and other
things. They're fun for now. Here's how
it works. You take drugs. You will
here's how the deal. It's a contract.
You will have three years of fun and
then you'll have 80 years where it'll
destroy your life. Gambling the same
thing. You'll have three years of fun.
You won't gamble too much. You gamble
100 here, 200 here. You lose, you win.
You lose, you win. You will have fun and
then it'll get to a point where it catch
up to you and you'll have 80 years
of the worst. The same, no more talking.
The same thing with alcohol. Alcohol is
the same. You have a drink after a drink
after a drink. You will have a ton of
fun. It's not like, "Oh, it's not so
fun." It is fun. You're going to have
three years of fun
and then 80 years of like death.
So every time you make a decision, I
say, "Boys, you're going to come back to
Israel. A lot of you going to go to
deal." I said, "You're going to be faced
with a choice." But you need to know
that when people tell you, "Nah, no one
cares. It's not so fun. is not so
enjoyable.
It's not true. It is fun, but it comes
with a contract. The contract of death.
The contract of death is have a few
years of fun and then have 80 years of
destruction.
That's how it works every time. And so
many people say, "Oh, but you know, I'm
I'm tempted." It works the same every
time. You'll have a few years of fun. A
party life also so much fun. You go to a
party, you drink, you celebrate, do
inappropriate things, you have a ton of
fun for a few years, and then you'll be
chasing that life and chasing that money
and chasing the party and chasing that
that thrill for 80 years. It's a
contract of death. The good life is the
opposite. The good life says you're
going to have to struggle for a few
years. Someone's going to offer you
something. You're going to have to say
no. And you're going to know it's
they're having more fun than you
tonight. Someone's going to tell you,
"Put money on the game." You're going to
have to say, "I have $100 in my pocket.
I But no, I'm not going to do it." It's
hard. Here's how it works. The contract
of life is that you're the way to have a
good life is you're going to have a few
years. It's difficult because you're
going to get offered again. You're going
to say, "Maybe I should and it's not
such a big deal and it's not the end of
the world and you're going to require
willpower and you're going to struggle
and you're sometimes going to be lonely.
You suddenly say, "I can't go to that
party and I can't drink that thing and I
can't take that substance." But I'll
tell you how it works. Three three years
of struggle after a couple of years,
you're used to it and then you have 80
years of joy. Doesn't mean everything
goes right for you, but it's so much
easier. He said, "So when a person comes
here right now and offers me to get
drunk or offers me to take a drug or to
gamble, to do other worse things, it's
not like a temptation
because once you pass the first few
years, you sign the contract of life."
So here's how it works. There's a
contract of death and the contract of
life. The contract of death says have a
few years of fun and pray pay the price
for 80 years.
The contract of life says have a few
years of struggle. You might be pulled.
You might not sure. You're debating,
insecure. You're not sure. You're
nervous. You're sweating. You're alone.
You feel like no one likes you. But once
you get past it, you've signed the
contract of life.
