Torah 104

How many fights start because we react to what we think someone meant? When the children of Israel didn't want a portion in Israel, he called them Tarbus and Nashim but he didn't have the full picture. They actually did want a portion in Israel. [music] This story teaches how serious it is to suspect good people when you don't actually know their intentions. Think about everyday life. Your wife gives you a certain look, your kid doesn't answer, a friend leaves you out. Someone at work sends you a short text and within 30 seconds your brain writes the whole story. [music] They don't respect me, they don't care, they're trying to push me out. But what if you're completely wrong? Before reacting to what you think someone meant, get the rest of the story. One simple sentence can save a relationship. [music] Before I react, let me make sure I understand you correctly.
