but shallow and welcome to Asia tour here in the essentials program the old city of jerusalem overlooking the temple mouth soon to be the place of the beit hamikdash the third temple now the I was just saying that like the most important thing in my life is to be deep down like my core stuff is that you should like me and that means that I'll never get anything done I will never have made a difference with my life because if you're always making sure everyone likes you're always making sure everyone likes you that's the that's like synonymous with you did nothing in your life like you didn't stand for anything you never found yourself you never you know you never lived your life and you're also gonna pay big time when you meet your maker is you're gonna pay big time when you meet your maker cuz gonna be like why the hell did I make you if you were just gonna be nice and charming to everybody and just perfectly never say anything and this is also one of the big anything and this is also one of the big dangers of Rabbis cuz rabbis have a job description dude you know there's a job description for anyways you know that yeah it's the comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable but how many rabbis are really good at comforting the afflicted but lousy and afflicting they're comfortable and I always feel like I always feel like when they when the rabbi's go to hell cuz part of being a rabbi means you're going to hell so I always feel like when they go to hell
